PREFACE.
The Council on 9th November, 1920, decided, as a
mark of its appreciation, to present to each member of
the staff who served in the Great War, or to the next-
of-kin of those who died on service, a short history of
the war so far as the staff were concerned, with brief
particulars of their service. Accordingly the Record
of Service which gives effect to this decision has been
prepared under my supervision by Mr. V. A. Weeks,
B.A. (late Lieut., R. West Kent Rgt.), of my depart-
ment. The sketch plans, which show practically every
place mentioned in the battle areas, have been drawn
by Capt. A. G. Harding, O.B.E. (late R.A.O.C), also
of my department.
Authorities for the statements made have not, as a
rule, been given. To do this adequately would have
required an elaborate series of footnotes, and these in
a simple summary of the facts did not seem to be called
for. The narrative and the comments thereon are based
for the most part on the despatches of the various
commanders-in-chief, the works referred to in the
text, and H. C. O'Neill's History of the War, Sir Henry
Newbolt's Naval History of the War, H. W. Nevinson's
Dardanelles Campaign, E. Dane's British Campaigns
in the Near East, and Brig.-Gen. J. H. V. Crowe's
General Smuts' Campaign in East Africa. The chapter
on the Royal Air Force is based on an official Short
History of the R.A.F. [F.S. 136], kindly supplied by the
Air Ministry.

iv
As far as practicable the recommendations of the
Battles Nomenclature Committee [Cmd. 1138] have
been adopted.
The Record deals only with the Council's staff, but it
is not fitting that it should be issued without mention
of the two members of the Council who lost their lives
on active service, Captain R. M. Sebag-Montefiore, of
the Royal East Kent (The Duke of Connaught's Own)
(Mounted Rifles), who died at Alexandria on 19th
November, 1915, from wounds received in Gallipoli,
and Lieut. -Col. Lord Alexander Boteville Thynne,
D.S.O., M.P., who was killed in France on 15th
September, 1918, whilst commanding a battalion of
the Duke of Edinburgh's (Wiltshire Regiment).

RECORD OF WAR SERVICE
CHAPTER I.
Events Leading up to the Great War.
It would be a long task to refer even in outline to
all the causes, direct and indirect, of the Great War
and the attempt to do so would raise many con-
troversial questions. Here it must suffice to state
that the Franco-German War of 1870 had been
succeeded by a period of international jealousy
and suspicion, and that, so far from abating,
these feelings of unrest had spread during the early
part of the twentieth century widely throughout
Europe. A serious crisis in 1905, leading up to the
Algeciras conference, had been followed by another
in 1908 when Austria, in defiance of the Treaty of
Berlin, annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina, and by a
third in 191 1 arising out of the Agadir incident. Each
had threatened to lead to war and, although war had
been averted, it began to be clear that efforts to
maintain peace could not continue to be successful.
In most of the chief states there was no inconsiderable
number of people who desired war, some in order to
unite to their own country people of kindred race or
language, others for the sake of territorial or political
gain, others in mere self-defence before those plotting
against their country became invincible. So deep
were the feelings of distrust that any incident might
result in a crisis for which no peaceful solution could
be found. Such an incident was forthcoming on 28th
June, 1914, when the Archduke Francis Ferdinand,
heir to the Austrian Empire, was assassinated with
his wife while on a visit to Sarajevo, the capital of
Bosnia. The effects of the outrage were not at once
apparent, for no public action was taken by Austria
until 23rd July. Then, however, it presented to Serbia
a peremptory note and demanded a reply by the
evening of the 25th. On this note Sir Edward Grey,
the Foreign Secretary, remarked in a despatch to
the British Ambassador at Vienna that he " had
never before seen one State address to another inde-
pendent State a document of so formidable a char-
acter " and that one of the demands " would be
hardly consistent with the maintenance of Serbia's
independent sovereignty." ^ Serbia's reply, delivered
within the stipulated time, accepted in principle,
though with reservations, most of the Austrian
demands. This, however, was not considered satis-
factory, diplomatic relations were broken off, orders
were given for the mobilisation of the army, and on
the 28th war was declared against Serbia. Germany
supported Austria, while Serbia was supported by
Russia, thus bringing in France, the latter's ally.
Diplomatic negotiations to avert war or to localise its
effects having proved fruitless, Germany on ist August
declared war on Russia and France, and on the 6th
Austria declared war on Russia.
Great Britain of course had no direct interest in
the quarrel between Austria and Serbia, or even in
that between Austria and Russia, but, when other
issues were raised and Germany and France were
involved, it became vitally affected. The two main
questions were the maintenance of the integrity of
France and of the neutrality of Belgium. Great
Britain was under no treaty obligation to France,
but it had been agreed in November, 1912,^ that, if
either Government had grave reason to expect an
unprovoked attack, or something threatened the
general peace, it would immediately discuss whether
' Correspondence respecting the European Crisis, 1914 [Cd.
7467], p. 9. » Ibid., p. 57.
3
both Governments should act together to prevent
aggression and to preserve peace. The German Chan-
cellor's suggestion on 29th July that Great Britain
should remain neutral on condition that Germany
took no territory from France except in her colonies
was indignantly rejected, and on 2nd iVugust France
was informed that, if the German fleet came into the
English Channel or the North Sea to attack the French
coasts or shipping, the British fleet would give all the
protection in its power. The second question, Belgian
neutrality and the respect of that neutrality by all
belligerents, was even more important. By the Treaty
of London, 1839, Great Britain, Austria, Prussia,
France and Russia had agreed that Belgium should
form an independent and perpetually neutral state,
and that it should be bound to observe such neutrality
towards all other states. This treaty had been strictly
adhered to during the Franco-German War, and
accordingly on 31st July, 1914, when hostilities be-
tween France and Germany became imminent, the
two countries were asked whether, so long as no other
power violated it, they would respect the neutrality
of Belgium. France gave the necessary undertaking,
but no reply was received from Germany. In fact
on 2nd August the latter presented an ultimatum to
Belgium demanding facilities for military operations,
and on the 4th German troops actually invaded
Belgian' territory. On this date Germany was again
asked to give the assurance already given by France
and was informed that, unless a satisfactory reply was
received, Great Britain would take all steps in its
power to uphold the neutrality of Belgium. Germany
made no reply and accordingly from 11 o'clock on
the night of 4th/5th August, 1914, Great Britain
was at war with Germany.
CHAPTER II.
The Western Front, 1914.
From i8th to 20th July, as part of a test mobilisation,
a great naval display had been given at Spithead by
the British Fleet at which some 200 vessels, manned
by 70,000 officers and men, were present. After the
manoeuvres it was thought advisable, as affairs in
Europe appeared so threatening, that the vessels
should not disperse. Consequently at the outbreak
of war the fleet was fully mobilised, ready at once for
active service. The army was not mobilised until
3rd August, when it became clear that Germany was
about to invade Belgium.
War between Great Britain and Germany having
been declared, an Expeditionary Force, consisting at
first of only four divisions, with some cavalry and a
few aeroplanes, was sent to the assistance of the
French. The troops embarked chiefly at South-
ampton, the bulk of them crossing to Boulogne or
Havre on the nights of 12th and 13th August. They
concentrated at Amiens and between 17th and 20th
August were assembled under the command of Sir
John French to the south of Maubeuge.
Mons and the Retreat.
By the morning of Sunday, the 23rd, they were
in position at Mons with a front of about twenty
miles on the extreme left of the Allies, the ist Corps,
commanded by Sir Douglas Haig, being to the east
of the town, the 2nd Corps, under Sir Horace Smith-
Dorrien, holding the town itself and the line to the
west, and the cavalry, under Sir Edmund AUenby,
being mostly in reserve.
During the morning the Germans attacked with
five corps and three cavalry divisions, thus out-
numbering our men by more than two to one. Although
the enemy suffered heavy losses the attack achieved
6
only a moderate success, the British 2nd Corps, which
was chiefly involved, retiring, late in the day, to
prepared positions in rear. Towards evening, however.
Sir John French learned that Namur, thirty-five miles
to the east, had fallen on the 22nd, that, in conse-
quence, the French on his right had retired and that
his left was being outflanked. In addition therefore
to being outnumbered in front he was in grave danger
of being surrounded on both flanks, so that immediate
retreat was essential. This began the next day, the
direction taken being roughly south-west. The ist
Corps retired to the east of Bavai and thence through
Landrecies, Venerolles, La Fere, and Villers-Cotterets,
while the route of the 2nd Corps lay to the west of
Bavai, and through Le Quesnoy, Le Cateau, St.
Ouentin, Ham, Noyon and Compiegne. At Betz on
1st September, the two corps were re-united and
crossing the Marne next day fell back towards the
Seine.
Apart from an attack at Landrecies on the night of
25th/26th August, when the Guards drove off with
heavy losses a force which advanced through the
Foret de Mormal, the ist Corps was not seriously
molested, but the 2nd Corps was much harassed.
As his men were too weary to continue their march.
Sir Horace felt it necessary, in order to gain time, to
disregard the orders he had received not to fight, and
on the 26th near Le Cateau turned and faced the
enemy. Accordingly a line was formed to the south
of the Cambrai — Le Cateau road with the 5th Division
on the right, immediately west of the latter town, the
3rd in the centre and the 4th on the left, the whole
front measuring some nine or ten miles. The fighting
lasted from dawn until well into the afternoon when
the 5tli Division, having lost many of its guns, was
forced back and the two other divisions had to con-
form. The retirement in some disorder gave rise at
the time to disconcerting rumours in England but
7
these, as usual, greatly exaggerated the facts, and,
although there was much confusion, the retreat never
degenerated into a rout.
The mobilisation of H.M. Forces led to the calling
up from the Council's staff of 436 naval reservists,
870 army reservists and 590 members of the Terri-
torial force. During August and September eighteen
of the staff joined the Navy and 1664 the Army, so
that, after two months of war, the staff on service
numbered 3578. There were casualties amongst these
from the first, for on 23rd August George Baker {4th
R. Fus., Asylums) and Lance-Corp. E. W. Stretton
(2nd R. Ir. Rgt., Tram.) were reported as missing, on
the 24th John Yates (ist R. Scots Fus., Tram.) died
of wounds, and on the 26th J. A. Goodwin (R.F.A.,
Tram.) was killed at Le Cateau, while before the end of
the month A. G. Mitchell (ist Lines, Ch. Engr.) died
of wounds and W. J. Thynne (ist E. Surr., Tram.) was
missing. P. S. T. Marshall (ist Lines, Tram.) died on
nth September of wounds received near Mons, Corp.
Frederick Lait (R.G.A., Educ.) on the same date of
wounds received towards the end of the retreat, and
S. C. Good (4th Dragoon Gds., Tram.) on 2nd October
of wounds received on 3rd September near Lagny.
Randall Kirk (Coldstr. Gds., Asjdums), wounded and
taken prisoner near Mons, died at Laon on 14th
September.
The first member of the Council's staff to win a
decoration was Sergt. A. J. Tilney (4th Drag. Gds.,
Clerk) to whom was awarded the Croix de Guerre,
During the retreat towards the end of August he
was accidentally left behind by his regiment. While
making liis way back he rescued a wounded comrade,
taking him on his horse, and later picked up a straggler.
Eventually he fell in with some French troops with
whom he remained some days before he was able to
rejoin his regiment.
Battle of the Marne, 1914.
The German forces advancing from Mons to the
Marne were commanded by Von Kluck, who appeared
to think that our troops had been so roughly handled
that for the time being they might be ignored. Accord-
ingly in the early days of September, instead of con-
tinuing his advance to the south and south-west, he
turned to the south-east from the neighbourhood of
Amiens, and crossed the Marne between Meaux and
Chateau-Thierry seemingly with the intention of
attacking the left of what he considered to be the
main body of the Allies. He thus exposed his right
flank, guarded only by comparatively small detach-
ments, to the full assaults of the British and of a
French army, commanded by General Maunoury, on
their left. These assaults proved successful and, in
the face of vigorous opposition, the British by 7th
September had advanced to Coulommiers on the
Grand Morin, and by the 8th to the Petit Morin, both
these streams being tributaries of the Marne which
was crossed on the 9th to the west of Chateau-Thierry.
Von Kluck was now in considerable danger and a
general retreat of the Germans to the Aisne was
ordered. This retreat was followed up by the British
through Oulchy and Fere-en-Tardenois, and on the
12th they were again in touch with the main German
forces.
The operations from 6th September onwards, which
formed a part of important engagements by several
French armies, culminating in General Foch's success-
ful attack at St. Gond, 40 miles to the east, are usually
known as the first Battle of the Marne. By it the
German advance was definitely checked and, indeed,
pushed back for thirty miles and the threat on Paris
was removed, so that it is rightly regarded as one of
the decisive battles of the war.
Battle of the Aisne, 1914.
The passage of the Aisne, on a front of fifteen miles
between Bourg on the east and Soissons on the west,
was forced on 13th September. This was a difficult
task, for the river is both broad and deep and, as many
of the bridges had been blown up, some troops had to
cross on rafts or pontoons, others on the girders of
the broken bridges, and all this under continuous
fire. Facing the British and three or four miles to the
north of the river was a line of chalk hills on the
summit of which was the Chemin-des-Dames.' As
the scene of prolonged fighting throughout the war,
this was destined to become one of the most famous
positions on the whole front. The ist Corps on the
right advanced nearly to the top of the ridge, the 2nd
Corps in the centre near Vailly was not so successful,
while the 3rd Corps (which had been formed under
Sir WiUiam Pulteney towards the end of the retreat
from Mons) could do little more than hold its ground
immediately across the river. Here both sides dug
themselves in and, in spite of attacks and counter-
attacks, the line remained unaltered for many months.
After i8th September, although local encounters were
frequent, the general fighting died down and early
in October the British were relieved by the French
and moved northwards to the flank of the Allied
advance.
The casualties amongst the Council's staff were
Alfred Luker (Northld. Fus., Asylums) killed on gtli
September at the Mame, while those killed or missing
at the Aisne were: 13th September, E. S. Harrison
(ist R.W. Kent, Tram.); 14th September, C. A.

Coldstr. Gds., Tram.), I. W. Bradford (ist Coldstr.

October of wounds received on 14th September.
Antwerp.
In the latter part of August the main Belgian army
had withdrawn northwards to the neighbourhood of
Antwerp but, using this as a base, it continued by
frequent sallies to harass the enemy. The Germans
were thus compelled to retain in the district troops
which could have been more usefully employed else-
where, and accordingly, at the end of September,
after several weeks of desultory warfare, the reduction
of the Belgian position was seriously imdertaken.
The defence fared badly against heavy artillery of
the kind which had been so successful at Liege and
Namur, and the Allies were appealed to for assistance.
The only troops immediately available were a brigade
of Royal Marines and two brigades of the R.N.V.R.,
which were despatched to Antwerp in the early part
of October. A breach had already been made in the
outer defences of the town and, as the Germans were
greatly superior in numbers, no striking success was
probable. The British forces, however, did good
service by aiding the Belgians in holding up the
attack for several days, and also by covering the
Belgian withdrawal from the town. In this fighting
Sergt. T. York (Educ.) was killed on the 6th, Percy
Haggis (Arch.) on the 7th, and W. F. Forse (Tram-.)
on gth October. The 7th Division and some cavalry
landing at Zeebrugge covered the retreat along the
coast.
IX
La BassSe and Armentieres.
Early in October, when a dead-lock had been reached
on the Aisne, Sir John French suggested that, if his
forces were transferred to the left of the Allied line,
his Hnes of communication would be much shortened
and he might be in a position to outflank the Germans.
General Joffre consented and, as already mentioned,
the British were relieved by the French and moved
northward. Stated thus the problem which con-
fronted the British commander appears simple enough
to need no comment, but it must be remembered
that his forces numbered about 100,000 men with
horses, guns and baggage. One di\'ision alone, con-
taining at full strength about 19,000 men with some
5,600 horses, 75 guns and 650 wagons, occupies in
column of route about ten miles of road and takes
three hours to pass a given point, while to transport
it by rail about 90 trains are needed. It was therefore
a formidable task, requiring much skill and organisa-
tion on the part of a staff unpractised in the handling
of large bodies of men, to disengage so large a force
from a vigilant and energetic enemy, and to convey it
across the lines of communication of other troops. This
intricate movement was, however, accomplished with-
out mishap and by the nth of the month the 2nd Corps
was operating near La Bassee with the 3rd Corps on its
left to the east of St. Omer. With much hard fighting
and in spite of a strong resistance the line slowly
advanced eastward until, towards the end of the
month, the two corps were held up to the east of
Bethune, Laventie and Armentieres in positions which
were maintained with Uttle or no alteration almost to
the end of the war.
In this fighting B. A. Edhn (2nd Bedfords, Asylums)
was killed on 13th October, J. P. Knights (ist Notts,
and Derby, Asylums) on the 20th, A. G. Martin
(Wilts., Tram.) on the 24th, E. W. Moore (4th R.
Fus., Tram.) and Joseph Knowles (2nd Border,
YPRES, 19I4-18,
13
L.F.B.) on the 26th, and F. C. Hyde (ist Wilts,
Tram.) on the 31st. J. W. Otton (4th Middx., Tram.)
was awarded the D.C.M. for an attempt near Neuve
Chapelle on 5th November in which he lost his life,
to rescue a wounded non-commissioned officer. Cor-
poral O. J. T. Smith (Yorks. L.I., L.F.B.) died on 7th
January, 1915, of wounds received near La Bassee
on 22nd October.
Battles of Ypres, 1914.
The ist Corps which also detrained at St. Omer,
but later than the 3rd Corps, pressed on to the east of
Ypres, where it took up a position on the left [i.e., to
the north) of the 4th Corps. The latter had been
despatched from England to aid the Belgians but,
arriving too late to alter the course of events at Ant-
werp, had, after the fall of the city, retired in a south-
westerly direction along the coast. An advance was
made to the line Zandvoorde — Gheluvelt — Zonnebeke
— Langemarck (see map opposite) with the intention of
striking to the south-east at Menin, an important
point in the German communications, and to the
north-east through Poelcappelle and Passchendaele in
the direction of Bruges. The Germans, however, had
collected great numbers of troops in this district,
partly in order to make a diversion and so relieve the
pressure on their hne further south, but chiefly with
the object of breaking through and of capturing
Calais and the adjacent coast-line and so hampering
the British bases of supply. The British were out-
numbered in the proportion of three or four to one
and, instead of advancing, found themselves hard
put to it to hold their ground.
Ypres, which in this way came to be the scene for
four years of such desperate fighting and obstinate
bravery, both in attack and defence, as can scarcely
have been surpassed in all history, was before the war
an ancient and beautiful but decayed' city of 17,000
inhabitants. Situated in an extensive and fertile
14
plain it had become a centre for agriculture instead
of for wea\dng, its former industry, and it was also a
rail and road centre of importance. Its historical monu-
ments included the famous Cloth Hall and Belfry,
dating from the 13th century, the finest Gothic public
building in the country, the 13th-century Church of
St. Martin (formerly the Cathedral), the 14th-century
Town Hall and numerous quaint and picturesque
houses of the Renaissance. All were destroyed, and
the town during its four years partial siege was so
completely wrecked that when the enemy was at
length driven off not a house, scarcely even a room,
was habitable. In its defence 300,000 British and
Dominion troops died and a million were wounded.^
To the north, east and south the ground rises, but
it is only on the south, near Messines and Wytschaete,
that any really considerable hills exist. There the
highest parts, 260 feet high, are nearly 200 feet above
the level of the plain, while to the east the average
rise is only about 80 or 100 feet, and to the north
it is even less. In modern warfare in so flat a
country the possession of the higher ground confers
great advantages upon the side which hold it. First
and foremost they have very much better opportu-
nities for observing the movements of their opponents
and the effect of their own shell-lire. Secondly they
can secretly mass troops on the reverse side of the
slopes, and so launch surprise attacks without warning
to their opponents. Finally, and this is not the least
important benefit in a marshy area, they can drain
their trenches more or less effectively, and thus
prevent them from becoming so many muddy pools
or water-courses. It was for possession of these ridges,
therefore, that the fiercest fighting took place, and a
brief outline of the opening phases of this struggle
will now be attempted.
As already stated, the British had advanced to

the line Zandvoorde — Gheluvelt— Zonnebeke — Lange-
marck which was reached about 20th October, although
isolated advances were made even later at different
parts. After much fighting, which daily increased in
severity, the main German assault opened on 29th
October. In face of the overwhelming attacks on
that and the next day Gheluvelt, Reutel and Zonne-
beke were lost and the Une was withdrawn on the
average about one mile to Messines, Hollebeke and
Klein ZiUebeke. On the 31st the famous counter-
attack by the 2nd Worcesters at a very critical time
recovered much of the ground up to Gheluvelt, but
further south Messines fell and Wytschaete was
threatened. On ist November the Germans developed
their success and captured the whole of the Messines-
Wytschaete ridge, the British retiring to Wulver-
ghem. After this the fighting on the British front
slackened for some days, the brunt of the attacks being
borne by the French and Belgians to the north. On
nth November, however, their sector was once more
ablaze for, after a terrific bombardment lasting several
hours, the attack culminated in an assault by the
Prussian Guard, aided by troops of the line, along
the Ypres-Menin road. This was almost successful,
for the line was pierced in several places, but the
advance was stemmed by the 2nd Oxford and Bucks
L.I., the 1st Northamptons, the Connaught Rangers
and others, and a new line formed some distance to
the rear.^ Wytschaete, which had changed hands
several times since the beginning of the month, now
finally passed into the possession of the Germans.
This day's attack proved to be the final attempt by
the enemy to break through, and the British were
therefore able to consolidate their position on the
line of St. Eloi — Hooge— Frezenberg — Langemarck,
As the result of three weeks' desperate fighting,
' The enemy's losses were enormous, those of the Prussian Guard
alone in killed, wounded and missing amounting to nearly 7,000.
i6
the Germans, with the loss of 150,000 men, had suc-
ceeded in advancing at the most a distance of four
miles on a front of about fifteen. It is true that,
especially from the east round to the south, they had
secured positions which enabled them to overlook
and even to enfilade the British lines, both to the
south and south-east of Ypres and to the north-east
of Armentieres, but they had definitely failed in their
attempt to break through to the Channel coast or
even in their subsidiary effort to capture Ypres.
On 2ist October Sergt. A. J. Toole (2nd Drag. Gds.,
Educ.) was killed near Zonnebeke, and Charles
Walker (R.F.A., Tram.) at some place unknown; on
23rd October, Francis Greygoose (2nd K.R.R., Tram.)
near Pilkem; E. S. Moth (3rd Rif. Bde., Asylums)
died of wounds on the 25th; on 30th October, W. R.
Henderson (ist Dragoons, Asylums) and T. H. Broom
(ist Life Gds., L.F.B.) were missing, and Walter Bell
and Lance-Corp. M. M. Humphreys, both of ist S.
Wales Bord. and Asylums, were killed near Gheluvelt;
on 31st October, Lance-Corp. Daniel Reilly (ist R. W.
Surr., Tram.) was killed, W. Curtis (ist R. W. Surr.,
Parks), W. J. Basterfield (ist R. W. Surr., Educ.) and
A. G. Ferryman (2nd K.R.R., Tram.) were missing
near Gheluvelt, and H. J. F, White (2nd Life Gds.,
Tram.) was missing near Messines. It was on this last
date that the 14th Londons won their laurels near
Messines, the first occasion when a Territorial battalion
had fought as a complete unit by the side of the Regular
Army. The killed or missing included R. T. M. Wyllie
and M. S. Bryce (Arch.) and A. B. C. Sarll (Educ),
while Lance-Corp. James Carey (Arch.) died a few
days later as a prisoner of war of wounds received on
that date.
The casualties in November were: ist November,

Fighting in Winter of 1914-15.
After the Battles of Ypres the fighting died down
for some months into ordinary trench warfare with
its unremitting watch and guard even in the quietest
sectors, with its mud and shme and vermin, with its
patrols in No Man's Land, with its nightly ration
parties, working parties and burying parties, with
its continual casualties from shell, bomb, mine and
sniper, with its sudden bombardments and raids and
minor attacks, with its hours of cold and wet, boredom
and discomfort, punctuated by minutes of deadly
peril. The casualties included W. H. Ayton (R. W.
Surr., Tram.) killed on 17th December in a British
attack at Le Touquet to the north of Armentieres,
Corp. W. H. Cowan (Scots Gds., Educ.) on the i8th
in a raid near Rouges Bancs to the east of Laventie,
C.Q.M.S. G. Malcolm (ist Gren. Gds., Educ.) on the

CHAPTER III.
Western Front, 1915.
Although the opening months of 1915 were not
marked by any important fighting minor engagements
were frequent and casualties heavy. The latter
included O. S. Dawson (ist Cameronians, Asylums)
killed near Bois Grenier on 6th January and A. E.
Wilton and F. W. Clarke, both of the ist Coldstream
Gds. and the Stores Department, killed in a German
attack at Cuinchy on the 25th, while on the same date
William Maxim (R.F.A., Estates and Vain.) died of
sjmcope at Zevecote. On 4th February Sergt. H. W.
E. Jarratt (2nd Coldstr. Gds., Educ.) was killed near
Givenchy, on the 8th Joseph Huggins (3rd R. Fus.,
Tram.) near Ypres, and E. H. Palmer (2nd Essex,
Tram.) at Le Gheer in Ploegsteert Wood, on the nth
Corporal H. T. Cordery (ist Life Gds., Asylums)
probably near La Bassee and on the 22nd Lieut.
H. F. Heatly, B.Sc. (Yorks., attached 2nd E. Lanes,
Educ). Lance-Corp. W. J. Mott (ist R. W. Surr.,
Tram.) was killed on 9th March and on the loth
T. G. Pitt (ist Life Gds., Tram.) died at Boulogne of
wounds received near La Bassee on i6th February.
Capt. J. H. Stokes (R. W. Rents, attached R. Berks,
Educ), one of the first to be awarded the newly in-
stituted decoration of the M.C., died at Boulogne on
22nd March of wounds received on 13th February. G.
E. Romer (2nd E. Surr., Tram.) was killed at Ypres
on 25th March, and A. E. Mears (R.F.A., Comp.) died
at St. Omer on the 28th of meningitis. Corp. E. S.
Carpenter (6th Lond., Educ.) was killed on 21st April
near Cuinchy, and D. Angus (2nd Warw., Tram.) was
missing a few days later. A. Seal (2nd vScots Gds.,
Asylums) died on 15th May of illness.

Neuve Chapelle.
During the fighting of October, 1914, by the 3rd
Corps (see p. 11) the village of Neuve Chapelle,
guarding the Aubers ridge, had changed hands several
times but remained finally in the possession of the
Germans. In March, 1915, in order to test the spirit
of our troops after the losses of the preceding six
months and so that all ranks and all arms might
obtain experience of the offensive in trench warfare,
it was decided to attack the place. Accordingly at 8
o'clock in the morning of loth March, after a heavy
bombardment by 300 guns, British and Indian troops
attacked on a front of about 2,000 yards; at the same
time demonstrations on each flank kept the enemy
occupied. On the right of the main attack the advance
was at once successful, but on the left it was held up
for a time by broad belts of uncut wire. However, by
noon the village had been seized and during the
afternoon our troops debouched to the east, where
they were held up at the Bois du Biez and the Moulin
du Pietre. Heavy mists on the nth and 12th, while
preventing a further advance, enabled the Germans to
bring up reinforcements for several counter-attacks,
but these were all beaten off. (See map on p. 18).
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty,
especially on the nth. Staff Sergt. W. C. Minchin
(4th Seaf. Highdrs., Arch.) was awarded the D.C.M.,
the official notice stating that " he was always to the
fore when volunteers were required for arduous and
dangerous work, leaving cover on more than one
occasion voluntarily to take the place of wounded
stretcher-bearers. ' '
Our gains were the village and 3,000 yards of the
enemy's position to a depth of 1,000 yards. The
casualties were nearly 13,000 and included Sergt. H.
J. Stevens (2nd Durham I.. I., Educ.) killed on the
loth in some subsidiary fighting at Houplines near
21
Armentieres, C. E. Russell (ist Grenadier Gds., Educ.)
on the loth or nth, Sergt. A. E. Coster (Border, Tram.),
A. F. Samuels (2nd Yorks., Tram.) and J. D. Hale (2nd
Yorks, Housing) on the 12th, and H. Gostling (2nd
Midd., Tram.) on the 14th. L. Foy (13th Lond.,
Tram.) died at Boulogne on 5th April of wounds
received on 12th March.
Hill 60.
The fighting at Hill 60, which lasted for a fortnight
or more from 17th April, may be taken as an example
of the attacks made by each side with varying suc-
cess upon points up and down the line which were, or
were held to be, of importance. This modest feature is
a spoil-heap, rather more than 2I miles to the south-
east of Ypres, by the side of the Ypres-Comines rail-
way. At the most only fifty feet high, it was useful as an
observation post, and so, at dask on the evening of 17th
April, after the explosion of several mines, it was
rushed by the ist R. W. Kents and the 2nd Scottish
Borderers. By the next morning the Germans had
recovered part of the crest from which, however,
during the night of the iSth/igth they were again
driven by the 2nd W. Ridings and the 2nd Yorks L.I.
For some time, in spite of heavy bombardments and
numerous counter-attacks, the hill, defended by the
1st E. Surreys, the ist Bedfords and the 9th Londons,
remained with the British. In the early part of May
the Germans renewed their attacks, this time with
poison gas, against which our men were not then pro-
tected. One such attack on the ist failed, but a second
on the 5th was more successful, and the main part of
the hill had to be given up.
Battles of Ypres, 1915.
In the first Battles of Ypres the Germans concen-
trated on the line to the east and south-east of the
city, but in the second they attacked chiefly the sector
to the north-east. The assault opened on 22nd April,
23
1915, with a discharge of poison gas against the trenches
at, and to the north-west of, Langemarck held by
French Colonial troops. This was the first occasion on
which such gas had been used, at all events on a con-
siderable scale, the troops were quite unprepared, and
those that survived fled in terror. A gap, several miles
wide, was made in the line and, if the enemy had
properly exploited the success purchased by ignoring
the conventions of civilised warfare, the position of
the Allies would have been most serious. The Germans,
however, paused to consolidate their gains, and the
Canadians, who formed the left of the British line next
to the French, had time to defend their flank and even
to make a counter-attack. Isolated detachments were
hurried up as reinforcements, and by the morning of
the 23rd the gap to the left of the Canadians had been
somehow bridged by a line in rear of the original
position. Part of the area abandoned was regained by
counter-attacks, but eventually the loss of St. Julien,
Pilkem Ridge, Langemarck and Bixschoote had to be
accepted, and a new line was formed just to the east
of Wieltje and Boesinghe. At the same time the
dangerous projection which was thus formed to the
north-east was given up. The latter movement was
completed by 4th May, and on the 8th a fierce attack
broke out on the sector to the south of Wieltje. The
line was pierced at Wieltje and near Frezenberg, but
the former was recaptured and at the latter a new line
was formed to the west. A German attack on the 24th
near Bellewaarde and another at the end of the month
near Hooge were equally fruitless.
The fighting died down with the Allies holding the
line St. Eloi — Hooge — Wieltje — Boesinghe (seep. 21).
On the north and north-east the Germans had advanced,
at the most, two miles nearer Ypres and had secured
positions overlooking the town, but their efforts to
capture it had failed and were now finally abandoned.
The casualties included F. H. Stanton (12th Lond.,
23
Arch.) on the 24th, and George Hood (2nd D. of Corn-
wall's L.I., Tram.) on 28th April, both killed near
St. Julien, while on the 29th Lance-Corp. J. T. Pascoe
(ist Somerset L.I., Tram.) died near Vlamertinghe
and M. H. Woodhead (Middlx., Ch. Engr.) at Boulogne
of wounds which they had received probably in this
district. On 3rd May John Kirk wood (Educ.) and E.
W. Baldwin (Pub. Cont.), both of the 5th Londons,
were killed to the south of St. Julien and A. A. Rid-
lington (2nd Buffs, Tram.) was killed probably to the
north-east of that village. On the 4th Lance-Corp.
C. W. H. Juniper (2nd Essex, Tram.) was killed near
St. Jean and on the 8th C. L. Rizzi (12th Lond., Arch.)
probably near Frezenberg. W. F. West (5th Lond.,
Educ.) died on 12th May of wounds received near St.
Julien on 25th April. On 13th May John Pearce (ist
Rif. Bde., Comp.) and W. C. R. Boughton (5th Lond.,
Educ.) were killed near Wieltje and Corporal G. Guyver
(Tram.) and H. L. J. Christiansen (Parks), both of the
loth R. Hussars, and Lance-Corp. Benjamin Hambly
(2nd Life Gds., Asylums) near the Ypres-Roulers road.
G. A. Jenkins (12th Lancers, Asylums) was wounded
on the 14th probably at the same place and died at
Hazebrouck on the 17th. Sergt. A. J. Shepherd (4th
R. Fus., Tram.) was killed near St. Eloi on the 20th,
and on the 24th Lieut. Thomas Roberts (Cheshires,
Educ), Walter Everitt (4th Drag. Gds., Tram.), Lance-
Corp. F. G. Grifhn (3rd R. Fus., Tram.) and W. T.
Ellner (3rd R. Fus., Tram.), all in front of Ypres.
George Moore (2nd E. Surr., Tram.) was killed on the
28th and on the same date Lance-Corp. Sidney Clark
(3rd R. Fus., Tram.) died of wounds received at Ypres
on the 8th. Edward Moore (4th Huss., Tram.) died at
Dublin on loth January, 1916, from the effects of a
wound received in this sector on 24th May, 1915.
Aubers Ridge and Festuhert.
Early in May the French took the offensive
between Loos and the Vimy Ridge to the north of
24
Arras and, in order to engage the enemy's attention,
the British on 9th May opened an attack on a front of
about ten miles between Laventie and Richebourg
I'Avoue. In the north near Rouges Bancs the 13th
Londons seized a mine crater and several lines of
trenches beyond, and in the south the 2nd R. Munster
Fus. captured some trenches near the Rue du Bois.
The rest of the attack failed and these two battalions,
being unsupported on their flanks, had to withdraw.
Further attacks on the night of I5th/i6th May at
Richebourg I'Avoue and Festubert were less unsuc-
cessful but, though the operation continued for several
days, the total gains were negligible for, apart from
the casualties inflicted on the enemy, an advance of
a few hundred yards in so flat a country was of no
advantage.
The Germans seem to have had warning of the
attack and to have been fully prepared for it, and,
owing to the demands for guns and ammunition at
Ypres, our artillery preparation was far from being
effective. It is therefore not surprising that the
casualties in this, the first engagement in which
Territorial and New Army units were employed on a
considerable scale, were very heavy. On the first day
alone they exceeded 12,000, most of the battalions
engaged losing over half their effectives. This at the
time seemed a very heavy proportion, but later such
losses became so frequent as scarcely to arouse com-
ment. The undermentioned members of the Council's
staff were killed on 9th May: V. J. Macartney (Comp.),
H. C. C. Whitwell (Solr.) and F. M. Macrae (Educ.) all
of the 13th Londons near Rouges Bancs, W. H. Ferry
(ist Northamptons, Tram.), John Whittam (Solr.)
and Sergt. William Keys (Educ.) both of the 4th
Seaforth Highrs. near Rouges Bancs, James Bailey
(2nd R. Suss., Educ.) at Richebourg I'Avoue, W. G.
Dickens (24th Lond., Tram.) near the Rue du Bois,
Sergt. H. J. Lock (2nd Middx., Tram.), and John Tott
as
(2nd Cameronians, Tram.). Albert Forse (24th Lond.,
Tram.) died on the loth of wounds received on the
9th. Joseph Gray (ist Lond., Tram.) was killed on
the loth and Lance-Corp. A. E. Keeling, B.Sc. (7th
Lond., Educ.) on the i6th near Festubert. On the
same day and probably at the same place Lance-Corp.
George Cox (2nd R. W. Surr., Tram.) and Corporal
Herbert Parker (8th Lond., Educ.) were also killed,
and on the 17th J. E, Petherick (13th Lond., Comptr.)
died of wounds received near Rouges Bancs on the 9th.
On the i8th W. A. V. Luckhurst (7th Lond., Tram.),
H. F. Buckby (4th Cam. Highrs., Educ.) and Lance-
Corp. Edward Carey (ist Irish Gds., Housing) were
killed near Festubert. C. E. Pearson (15th Lond.,
Solr.) died on the 23rd of wounds received on the 20th.
Lieut, H. E. Handley (Educ.) was killed on the 24th
and Lance-Corp. G. T. Boxall (Educ), Lance-Corp.
H. S. Burton (Educ), Lance-Corp. Frederick Rushton
(Tram.), Lance-Corp. T. S. Waterhouse (Tram.),
J. C. Terrett (Educ), 1. H. Dibble (Educ), A. J.
Hammond (Educ), R. J. H. Maley (Educ), V. K.
Mallpress (Educ) and H. C. Turner (Estates and
Vain.) on the 25th, all these falling at Givenchy
with the 23rd Londons. On the same day and at
the same place were killed W. S. Curtis (Educ.) of
the 15th and R. C. Beale (Stores), Archibald Herriott
(Tram.), Corporal George Klein (Tram.), of the 24th
Londons. Those in the 23rd Londons killed on the
26th included Douglas Waterland (Educ), J. L. Aubury
(Tram.), Arthur Bickmore (Tram.), F. M. Carson
(Educ), and H. G. Pugh (Educ). Corp. A. E. W.
Chappell (24th Lond., Arch.) was killed on the 26th
and W. Allan (ist R. W. Surr., Tram.) died on the
27th of wounds received the day before.
Summer 0/1915.
The summer of 1915 was taken up with various
local encounters which led to no more definite result
than the occasional gain or loss of a trench. Thus on
26
15th June about eight battalions attacked opposite
Givenchy; some failed to reach their objective and
the others suffered such heavy casualties that they
were unable to maintain themselves in the captured
trenches. Trenches captured at Hooge on i6th June
were retaken by the Germans with the aid of liquid
fire on 30th July, and again captured by us on 9th
August.
On a date in July Staff-Sergt. N. Mapham (R.A.V.C,
Educ), in charge of some N.C.O.'s and men, was
ordered to entrain at Bethune a large number of sick
and wounded horses. There was a two hours' wait
for the train and during all this time the station was
heavily shelled. In these trying circumstances and
in spite of many casualties he successfully carried out
this difficult operation, and for his gallantry was
awarded the D.C.M.
In the general warfare during the middle of 1915
J. J, Shrimpton (H.M.S. Vernon, Tram.) was killed
on 23rd May near Dunkirk while employed in connec-
tion with some naval guns which were in use on shore.
On 8th June J. H. Rowe (i6th Lond., Tram.) died at
Vlamertinghe of wounds received the previous day in
front of Ypres, on the 15th H. E. Bailey (5th Seaforth
Highrs., Arch.) was shot at Givenchy while aiding a
wounded comrade, on the i6th Harry Jackson (ist
R. Scots Fus., Tram.) and W. G. Squires (R.F.A.,
Asylums) were killed at Hooge and on the 20th
William Allison (ist Middx., Tram.) died of wounds
received probably near Armentieres. On 6th July
Corporal J. E. Butler (ist Rif. Bde., Tram.) was killed
near Boesinghe, on the 19th J. E. Matthews (4th
Middx., Tram.) at Hooge and on the 30th S. W. Jones
(24th Lond., Tram.) died of wounds received on the
20th and Harry Fuller (ist N. Staffs, Tram.) of
wounds received near Ypres on the 27th. R. Payne
(E. Surr., Parks) was reported as missing about this
time. Walter Pearson (H.A.C., Educ.) was killed at
27
Hooge on 25th August, J. R. Marshall (2nd Worcs.,
Tram.) in front of Bethune on the 26th and Corporal
W. W. Davis (R.E., Tram.) at Grenay on the 30th.
During September Lieut. F. W. Quilter (6th Lond.,
Comp.) was killed on the ist near Vermelles, Lance-
Corp. Albert Jackson (2nd Yorks. L.I., Asylums) on
the 4th, Lieut. S. B. Walsh, M.D., D.P.H. (R.A.M.C,
Pub. Health) died at Calais on the 8th owing to an
accident on 28th August when his horse, frightened
by a shell, threw him, Sergt. F. C. Dixon (12th Rif.
Bde., Parks) at Boulogne on the 9th of wounds
received near Laventie on the 5th, Charles White (2nd
Drag. Gds., Stores) in a railway accident on the i8th,
and G, A. E. Searle (4th Oxf. and Bucks L.L, Educ.)
near Hebuterne,' south of Arras, on the 24th.
Loos and Hulluch.
In September, the French decided, in conjunction
with a great attack in Champagne, to renew their
offensive against the Vimy Ridge, and the British
were asked to co-operate by attacking between Lens
and the La Bassee Canal (see plan p. 18). The pre-
liminary bombardment occupied four days and, im-
mediately before the advance, large quantities of
asphyxiating gas were released, this being the first
time that gas was used by us. The main attack was
launched at 6.30 a.m. on the 25th, and in some parts
suffered much from coming upon large belts of uncut
wire and drifting clouds of our own gas. On the
extreme right the 47th Division (with the i8th Londons
dribbling a football across No Man's Land), captured
the Double Grassier - and part of Loos. On their left
the 15th Division captured the remainder of Loos,
pressed on a mile or so farther to Hill 70 and even
attempted an attack beyond {i.e., to the east of) the
' During the first half of 1915 the portion of Une held by the
British in France was gradually extended southwards as far as
Lens. About July, 1915, they also took over a sector to the south
of Arras extending to the north of Albert.

hill. In the centre the ist Division got as far as Hulluch
and the 7th up to Cite ^ St. Elie but the latter had
to withdraw to the Quarries. Further north the 9th
Division, although held up by the HohenzoUem
Redoubt and Fosse 8,^ reached the outskirts of Haisnes.
They were much impeded, however^ by the failure of
the 2nd Di\dsion on the extreme left to deal with the
very strong works at Auchy which were thus able to
enfilade sections of the advance.
During the following night the Quarries were lost,
and on the 26th the 15th Division was forced to give
up most of Hill 70. The reserves in this latter part
consisted of the 21st and 24th Divisions. These, being
newly arrived from England, had never been
under fire; they were wearied with a series of night
marches along roads crammed with traffic ; they were
short of food and water and drenched with rain; it
has been stated ^ that the officers had no precise
orders or detailed information.^ In this state these
two divisions on the 26th were thrown into the conflict
between Hulluch and the Bois Hugo. Both succeeded
in advancing, but suft'ered so terribly that they were
unable to maintain their gains and had to fall back.
The 8th Buffs for instance, and the 8th R. West Kents
each lost nearly 600 officers and men, and the brigade,
the 72nd, of which they formed part, lost 2,000 men
out of 3,600. On the 27th Fosse 8 was lost and the
Hohenzollern Redoubt which it commanded was
threatened. As a set-off to this reverse the newly-
formed Guards Division retook Hill 70. Desultory

lighting proceeded for several days, a strong German
counter-attack on 8th October being beaten off and
renewed efforts by the British on the 13th to clear the
redoubt and to take Fosse 8 being unsuccessful.
After this the lighting died down into ordinary
trench warfare with the British holding a line (see
plan on p. 18) running almost due eastward from
Grenay as far as the Lens-Hulluch road, then north-
ward along this road and finally turning westward
through the Hohenzollern Redoubt to the original
front line. The area captured, although less than that
gained in the first assault, represented an advance of
about two miles on a front of about four, and the ad-
vance fonned a permanent threat to the German occu-
pation of Lens in the south and La Bassee in the north.
Some 3,000 prisoners with 26 field guns were taken.
Major (afterwards Lt.-Col.) Ernest Eton (R.F.A.,
Educ.) was awarded the D.S.O. for excellent service
throughout the summer when, although constantly
shelled out of observation stations, he always managed
to command his guns with success. He also did good
work at Loos at the end of September. In the latter
lighting the D.C.M. was gained by Sergt. A. A. W.
Gray (M.G.C., Tram.) on the 25th when " he carried
his machine-gun forward . . . when only two men
of the gun team were left, and selected the gun position
in the most able way. His coolness and gallantry . . .
afforded a fine example to all ranks." Co. Sergt. -Maj.
(afterwards Captain) P. E. Fairley (i8th Lond., Educ.)
was awarded the same decoration for conspicuous
bravery and devotion to duty under heavy shell fire
during the repair of trenches that had been blown in.
For excellent work on night patrols, both at Festubert
and Loos, Rgt. Sergt. -Maj. J. W. Fisher (22nd Lond.,
L.F.B.) was awarded the D.C.M. Sergt. A. E. Kitchen
(R.A.M.C, Educ), Sergt. J. V. Jeanes (Gren. Gds.,
Asylums)., and F. J. Bulcraig (23rd Lond., Stores)
were awarded the M.M.
30
On 25th September W. A. G. Davey (i8th Lond.,
Stores), S. J. Farley (20th Lond., L.F.B.) and Harold
Marsh (6th Lond., Tram.) were killed with the 47th
Division, Sergt. H. B. Richardson (12th Highd. L.L,
Educ.) with the 15th Division somewhere near Hill 70,
Claude Challice (8th Devons, Educ.) near Hulluch,
Capt. L. G. Coward (Comp.) and H. E. Cannard
(Tram.) near Auchy with the ist Middlesex and S. H.
Townsend (R.F.A., Tram.). On the same day G. James
(ist R.W. Surr., Tram.) was killed in a subsidiary
attack near Givenchy and Henri Willem Dussauze
(French Army, Educ). was killed at Auberive-sur-
Suippes during the French assault in Champagne.
For his gallantry on this occasion he was awarded the
Croix de Guerre (highest class). J. S. Walker (ist R.
Welch Fus., Tram.) died on the 26th of wounds
received the previous day. On the same day Sergt.
P. J. Gould and Albert Ingram, both of the 9th E.
Surreys and Asylums, were killed to the south of
Hulluch, Lieut. Edgar Faulks (R.A.M.C., Asylums)
near Loos, B. G. Turner (ist Colds. Gds., L.F.B.) near
the Bois Hugo and E. T. Havell (loth R. Suss., Educ.)
near Fosse 8. On the 27th E. C. Barklamb (2nd E.
Surr., Housing) was killed in the Hohenzollern Redoubt,
and on the 30th Frank Ashby (R.A.M.C, Tram.) died
at Noeux-les-Mines of wounds received on the 26th.
On 13th October Sergt. Henry Eason (14th Lond.,
Educ.) was killed while reconnoitring, and Sergt.
A. T. O'Meara and Sergt. E. Hart, both 7th Norfolks
and Education, and Lance-Corp. A. J. King (5th R.
Berks., Tram.) near the Quarries. On the 14th B. L.
Bilcliffe (15th Lond., Educ.) was killed near Loos.
Autumn of 1915.
During the autumn of 1915 there were no serious
engagements, but casualties on the long front now held
by the British were numerous. They included Lance-
Corp. H.J. Simons (8th E, Surr., Tram.) killed at Fricourt
to the east of Albert on 15th October, Sergt. James
31
Shrewsbury (i2lh K.R.R., Educ.) at Laventie on the
i6th, William Fox (ist Buffs, Parks) on the 17th,
Crowther Morton (15th Lond., Educ.) on the 24tli
near Loos, S. J, Baker (23rd Lond., Tram.) on the
28th of wounds received on the 25th, A, S. Plumb (8th
Rif. Bde., Tram.) on the 30th of wounds received near
Ypres on the 13th, and Sergt. J. G. Jones (21st Lond.,
Tram.) near HuUuch on the 31st. During November
E. S. Meredith (15th Lond., Estates and Vain.) was
killed near Loos on the ist, L. H. T. Williams (15th
Lond., Solr.) near Loos on the 2nd, and A. E. Coventry
(6th R. Berks, Tram.) near Albert on the 27th. P. H.
Rivers (R.E., Tram.) died on 4th December of wounds
received on 20th November, Arthur Cooper (nth
Essex, Tram.) probably near Hulhich on 19th Decem-
ber, and C. R. S, Aplin (22nd Lond., Tram.) on the
30th.
Edward Gimble (ist Middx., Tram.) was awarded
the Albert Medal, second class, for his gallantry on
26th October, when he assisted Lieut. -Com. Warden
in quenching a fire which had broken out on the s.s,
Maine. The vessel, loaded with high explosives, was
lying at the time in the Bassin Loubet, Boulogne, and
a serious, possibly disastrous, explosion was averted
by their action.
Sergt. A. J. Tilney (4th Drag. Gds., Clerk) received
the D.C.M, for repeated acts of gallantry, particularly
on a night in January, 1916, when he accompanied
an officer and two men in an attempt upon a mine
crater in the Hohenzollem Redoubt. The officer
was killed and one of the men wounded, but Sergt.
Tilney seized and held the position. Corp. S. C. P.
Drury (R.E., Educ.) was awarded the D.C.M. for
consistent gallantry and good work about this time
when in charge of sap and wire entanglement work.
During an engagement in the Ypres salient he also
displayed great courage and coolness.

CHAPTER IV.
Western Front, 1916.
In December, 1915, Sir John French returned to
England, and on the 19th of the month Sir Douglas
Haig was appointed commander-in-chief of the British
forces. During the winter the British took over from
the French the sector from Lens to Arras, so that
in the early part of 1916 the line held by them started
north of Ypres, passed near Armentieres, Bethune,
Lens and Arras and reached practically to the river
Somme. The length was about 90 miles, out of a total
length from the North Sea to Switzerland of about
350 miles, and for its defence in July 660,000 infantry
and cavalry were available. In addition there were
great numbers of artillery as well as of units, near the
front and at the various bases, dealing with health
services, supply, transport, etc.
The first serious operation in 1916 in the British
sector was the capture by the Germans on 14th
February, after a heavy bombardment and the explo-
sion of several mines, of the Bluff, a low bank on the
Comines canal nearly three miles S.S.E. from Ypres.
Like Hill 60, about one mile to the north, it conferred
upon the side holding it facilities for observation and
so was the scene of fierce fighting. In fact one trench
changed hands so frequently that it gained the name
of " International Trench." A British counter-attack
in a rain-storm on the night of the I5th/i6th failed,
but in another attack just before dawn on 2nd March
not only the lost ground but an additional area was
captured.
At St. Eloi, a mile or more to the west, the positions
were reversed. On 27th March six mines were exploded
under the German trenches, portions of which were
seized. The consolidation of the new position proved
difficult and, after numerous bombardments and
33
counter-attacks during the next four weeks, our men
withdrew on 27th April to the line held before the
operations began.
Of the remaining operations the most notable were
the fighting, chiefly by the 12th Division, in the Loos
salient in April and May, a German attack at the
Vimy Ridge near Souchez in the middle of May, and
a German attack near Hooge and Zouave and Sanc-
tuary Woods early in June. The last two were under-
taken in the hope that troops and munitions would be
diverted to the threatened points, and that the prepara-
tions, then well advanced, for the Battle of the Somme
would be impeded. To prevent this no effort was made
to recover the ground lost near Souchez, and at Hooge
only the area essential for the safety of the line was
attacked and captured.
In these ^ or in similar engagements the casualties
mentioned below occurred during the first half of 1916.
On 6th January H. E. L. White (gth Rif. Bde., Tram.)
was killed near Ypres, on the nth J. G. J. Waite
(7th K.R.R., Tram.) probably in the same neighbour-
hood, and S. A. Parkington (15th R. Welch Fus.,
Tram.) near Richebourg, and on the 21st Sergt. E.
W. Lord (8th Glouc, Educ). On 27th January Cor-
poral James Skeggs (9th R. Fus., Tram.") died at
Netley Hospital of wounds received on 4th November,
1915. Lieut. E. T. Morgan (15th R. Welch Fus., Educ.)
died at Merville on 7th February of wounds received
near Richebourg two days before, Lance-Corp. A. G.
Rose (15th Lond., Educ.) on the 12th, and J. A.
Braybrooke (i8th Middx., Tram.) near Cambrin on
the 29th. G. E. Rolfe (nth Middx., Tram.) died at
Abbeville on i6th March of wounds received on the

Ashdown (4th R. Fus., Parks) on the 27th. P. T.
Ketcher (20th Lond., Educ.) died at Camiers near
Boulogne on the 29th of wounds received on the 20th.
In April H. M. F. Quick (9th R. Fus., Tram.) was
killed near Loos on the 5th, A. W. Roberts (5th Wilts,
Tram.) on the 8th, W. A. ButHn (6th R. Berks, Tram.)
near Albert on the 19th, Lance-Corp. James Smythe
(R.W. Surr., Tram.) near Vermelles on the 20th, and
Sergt. Frank Sturtridge (6th Lond., Educ.) near Vimy
on the 30th. Capt. P. E. Fairley, D.C.M. (i8th Lond.,
Educ.) wounded on 6th April lingered on until 4th
February, 1919, when he died in hospital in Co.
Armagh. Lieut. B. R. Baker (17th R. Fus., Educ.)
was killed near Bully Grenay on 3rd May, Sergt.
Mark Cutler (2nd Gren. Gds., Tram.) probably near
St. Jean on the 6th, William Swainsbury (R.F.A.,
Parks) near Arras on the 7th and A. F. Canivet,
B-es-L., B-es-Sc, (French Army, Educ.) on the 31st.
Sergt. E. C. Laver (R.F.A., Tram.), wounded near
Arras on nth March, died in England on 19th June.
Michael DooHn (2nd R. Munster Fus., Tram.) was
killed on 25th June in a raid on the enemy's trenches
south of Hulluch, Sergt. E. J. Perry (7th Middx.,
Educ.) near Hebuteme on the 26th, and Lieut. P. F.
Gethin (8th Devons, Educ.) near Mametz on the 28th.
Lieut. L. H. Kenny (8th Suff., Educ.) was missing
after a trench raid on the night of 26th/27th June.
Sergt. V. M. Elliott (2/4th Oxf. and Bucks L.L, Educ.)
died at Merville on ist July of wounds received in a
raid on the enemy's trenches near Laventie.
Sergt. R. W. Braham (R.F.A., Educ.) was awarded
the M.M. for gallantry during April at Vimy Ridge
and Co. Sergt. -Maj. C. W. Froome (i6th Lond., Educ.)
the D.C.M. on 2nd June, the details not being known.
Sergt. A. Prentice and Corporals A. E. Brereton and
W. H. Nash, all of the Oxf. and Bucks L.L and
Education, received the M.M., the first named for
35
rescuing a wounded comrade, and the others for
various acts of gallantry during a trench raid in
front of Laventie on 29th June.
Vimy Ridge.
The fighting on Vimy Ridge to the south of Souchez
in May, 1916, when many of the Council's staff were
killed, was briefly as follows. At evening on 15th May
the British exploded several mines in No Man's Land
and the craters were occupied by troops from the 25th
Division. On the 21st the Germans heavily bom-
barded the position, and during the night of the
2 1st /22nd, while the 47th Division was relieving the
25th, they captured the craters and even parts of our
trench system in rear. As already stated, it was not
thought worth while to drive them out. The casualties
included Sergt. Arthur Favell (21st Lond., Educ.)
killed on the i8th, Sergt. T. P. Chick (15th Lond.,
Comp.), H. W. Babington (15th Lond., Educ), A. H.
Russell (15th Lond., Arch.) and J. A. Wynne (15th

Lond., Pub. Cont.) died at Abbeville on the 31st of
wounds received on the 21st, and on 3rd June Lieut.
L. T. Taylor (8th Loyal N. Lanes., Educ.) died at
Aubigny of wounds received on 21st May.
Battle of the Somme, 1916.
Since February, Verdun, an important point in the
French line of defence, had been furiously assaulted
but, although the defence severely taxed the French
resources, the Germans, even at the cost of more than
300,000 casualties, achieved no definite result. To
relieve the pressure and also to prevent the transfer
of German troops to the Italian or Russian fronts an
offensive by the French and British was planned at

the junction of the two armies in the valley of the
Somme.
Modern armies consume such great quantities of
supplies that even in stationary warfare very careful
arrangements have to be made to maintain them;
during an offensive their needs are increased out of
all proportion. For the Battle of the Somme vast
stocks of ammunition and stores had to be accumu-
lated, and on the British front alone many miles of
new railways were constructed, more than 120 miles
of water mains were laid, new roads and bridges were
built and old ones were improved. In addition many
miles of communication trenches, assembly trenches,
assault trenches and trenches for telephone wires had
to be dug.
The country from Ypres to Loos, formerly part of
the province of Flanders, which witnessed the British
conflicts at the end of 1914 and throughout 1915 is
not unlike certain portions of the eastern districts of
England. It is flat or gently undulating, and divided
into fields by ditches, small streams and high hedges,
with many farms dotted about. The country to the
south, the scene of new and greater conflicts, is a
rolling, chalk country, for the most part waterless,
which rises steadily to heights of 500 feet or more. It
is quite open, except for woods on many of the hill-
crests, and the farms are grouped into small compact
villages situated every mile or so at road junctions.
In such country the defenders have good observation
and good fields of fire, while the attackers, even if they
find it difficult or impossible to obtain cover, are able,
in ordinary weather and under ordinary conditions, to
move their infantry freely in any direction.
The position to be attacked by the British was the
high land running north-westward from the Somme to
St. Pierre Divion, where it was cut by the valley of the
Ancre, and then northward to Gommecourt. The
German first system of trenches was on the forward.
39
that is the southern and western, slopes, their second on
the hill-crests 3,000 to 5,000 yards in rear, and still
farther back there were the elements of a third line.
The first two lines were exceptionally strong. The
chalk soil enabled dug-outs to be prepared at a depth
which made them practically safe from bombardment,
the villages and woods had been turned into fortresses,
the trenches were protected by belts, forty feet wide or
more, of barbed wire often as thick as a man's finger.
The battle is usually regarded in three phases, the
first from ist to 17th July when a footing was gained
on the hill-crest between Delville Wood and Bazentin-
le-Petit (see plan on p. 36), the second from 17th
July to the first week of September when violent
counter-attacks were beaten off and our position on
the whole of the high land was made good, and the
third from September to November when an advance
was made down the further, that is the eastern and
northern, slopes, and our gains were extended on both
^^^^S- First Phase, ist/i-jth July.
From 24th June the enemy's line from Maricourt to
Gommecourt, a distance of twenty miles, was bom-
barded almost continuously, and gas was discharged at
frequent intervals. At 7.30 a.m. on ist July, a calm
summer day, after a short final bombardment of excep-
tional violence accompanied by the discharge of smoke
and the explosion of many mines, the attack was
launched. Counting from the right, the 30th, i8th
and 7th Divisions were successful at Montauban and
Mametz, a distance of about five miles, and the 21st,
34th and 8th were partially successful at Fricourt, La
Boisselle and Ovillers. On the left, in spite of initial
successes, the 32nd and 36th failed near Thiepval, the
29th and the 4th near Beaumont Hamel, the 31st at
Serre and the 56th and 46th near Gommecourt. One
cause of the failure was that the Germans expected
that the main attack would be in this sector and
consequently they had greatly strengthened their
40
defences and had brought up large numbers of guns.
Even as it was, our men at Thiepval, Serre, Gomme-
court, and elsewhere reached points to which British
troops did not penetrate again until after several
months of weary fighting. These scattered groups,
cut off from their supports and supplies by a heavy
barrage, were attacked in rear by parties of the enemy
who, by withdrawing to positions of safety, had escaped
our bombardments. It is not surprising that, out-
numbered and short of ammunition and bombs, they
had to withdraw, and that few of them regained their
own lines in safety.
In spite of heavy counter-attacks the success on
the right was exploited and during the next few days
Fricourt, Bernafay and Caterpillar Woods and La
Boisselle fell. About the 5th the weather broke and
to the horrors of the battle were added the misery and
discomfort of heavy rain. Contalmaison and Mametz
Wood were captured on loth July and, as some pro-
gress had been made at Trones Wood on the right and
Ovillers on the left, a general attack on the enemy's
second line was possible.
Accordingly on the night of 13th /14th July our
troops advanced nearly a mile and in the darkness
took up position unobserved just below the crest. At
3.25 on the morning of the 14th, when there was only
sufficient light to distinguish friend from foe, the at-
tack opened. Trones Wood was captured by the i8th
Division, Longueval by the 9th, the Bazentins by the
3rd and 7th, and ground to the west of Bazentin-le-
Petit by the 21st, ist and 34th, while some troops
even reached High Wood but were ordered to retire.
On the 15th Delville Wood ^ and Waterlot Farm to
the south were captured, and on the i6th Ovillers,
after a heroic resistance for more than two weeks,
surrendered.
Capt. (afterwards Major) A. C. Hancock (R.A.M.C,
' Often known as Devil's Wood.
41
Asylums) received the M.C, for devotion to duty at
Montauban when he led a rescue party in the open
under heavy fire and rescued twenty-eight wounded
men. Lieut. John Lever (13th R. Fus., Educ.) won the
M.C. for conspicuous bravery at Mametz Wood.
Major C. C. B. Morris (R.A.S.C, L.F.B.) also won the
MC. about this time but details are lacking. The
M.M. was awarded to Corp. A. S. Devis (12th M.G.C.,
Tram.) for rescuing a wounded man, and to Scrgt.
J. E. Bailey (ist R. Welch Fus., Asylums) for his
gallantry at the capture of Bazentin-le-Petit.
The fighting up to 17th July resulted in the capture
of seven miles of the enemy's front system and three
of his second, numerous strongly-fortified villages and
woods, 54 guns, 82 machine-guns and trench mortars,
and over 10,000 prisoners.
These varying successes and failures were of course
accompanied by long lists of casualties, and on ist
July alone twenty-three of the Council's staff were
killed, namely vSergt. J. E. Simons (8th E. Surr., Tram.)
near Montauban, M. W. Bevan (ist Dorsets, L.F.B.)
near Albert, Capt. John Foley (25th Northld. Fus.,
Educ.) near La Boisselle, Lieut. R. M. Stainton (loth

Capt. H. C. Harris (6th R. W. Rents, Educ.) was
killed on the 3rd at Ovillers and S. G. Barnes (9th
Lond., Educ.) died on the 4th of wounds received at
Bayencourt to the west of Hebuterne on the 2nd. On
the 7th Lieut. E. L. J. Stockdale, B.Sc. (loth Lane.
Fus., Pub. Health) was killed near Contalmaison, and
Lieut. A. D. G. Procter (8th R. Fus., Educ), Samuel
Lower (8th R. Fus., Tram.), Lance -Corp. Richard
ElHott (9th R. Fus., Tram.) and C. H. Edwards (9th

(nth W. Yorks, Educ.) died on the 9th of wounds
received near Contalmaison on the 4th. On the loth
E. J. Davies (15th R. Welch Fus., Tram.) and Frank
Pearce (14th R. Welch Fus., Tram.) were killed, both
at Mametz Wood, W. C. Rice (13th Rif. Bde., Tram.)
on the nth near La Boisselle, and on the 12th Lance-
Corp. H. A. Cole (6th Dorsets, Tram.) died of wounds
received two days before at Mametz Wood. Mark
Humphrey (R.F.A., Tram.) died on the 15th of wounds
received on the 14th, probably in this sector. Acting-
Quartermaster C. A. W. Walpole (R.F.A., Tram.) was
killed on the 15th, and Alfred Ridgewell (ist Middx.,
Asylums) on the same date near Bazentin-le-Petit.
Ernest Davis (loth R Fus., Educ.) died on the 23rd
of wounds received near Pozieres on the 15th.
Second Phase, lyih July to gth September.
By this time the enemy had brought up strong
reserves and, as our line formed a pronounced salient,
it was almost a question, not whether the position
could be improved, but whether even it could be main-
tained. Longueval and Delville Wood, at the apex of
the salient, were under fire from three sides, and during
a violent attack on the i8th the Germans captured part
of the village and of the wood. As a set off against this
43
we gained a footing in High Wood on the 20th, and
advanced on the 23rd along much of the front between
Guillemont and Pozieres. On the 25th the last named
place fell, and between the 27th and the 29th Delville
Wood and Longueval were cleared. Our attacks on
Falfemont Farm and Guillemont on 30th July and 8th
and i6th August with the object of straightening out
the salient all failed, but on the i8th Guillemont
station and part of the village were captured, and on
3rd September the whole passed into our hands.
In the meantime our men had fought their way
almost step by step towards Mouquet Farm near
Thiepval and to the high ground which enabled them
to overlook Martinpuich and Courcelette. Following
upon a general attack on 3rd September along the line
as far north as the Ancre, Falfemont Farm and Leuze
Wood were captured on the 5th, and another general
attack on the 9th gave us possession of Bouleaux
Wood and Ginchy. The two months' fighting from
17th July yielded little more than the two weeks before
that date, but the enemy's resistance was now broken
and henceforward the advance was comparatively
rapid.
Lieut, (afterwards Lt.-Col.) W. Parkes (S. Wales
Bord., Educ.) won the M.C. for conspicuous gallantry
in action. " He rallied troops wliich had lost their
officers . . . and displayed great coolness and courage.
He continued to do fine work till he was severely
wounded." Capt. (afterwards Lt.-Col.) C. F. Healey
(8th R. Dub. Fus., Educ.) was awarded the M.C. for
conspicuous bravery at Ginchy on 9th September.
On the same date Sergt. W. Brawn (Lond., Educ.)
won the D.C.M. when at Leuze Wood he assumed
command of three companies, re-organised them and
superintended the consolidation of the captured posi-
tion under very heavy fire for thirty hours. J. H.
Counter (ist Devons, Ch. Engr.) won the M.M. for
digging out, under heavy shell fire, several of his
D
44
comrades who had been buried in a dug-out by the
explosion of a shell, Lieut. T. E. Cresswell (R.N. Div.,
Arch.) was awarded the M.C. for conspicuous gallantry
in action at Beaucourt on 13th September when,
although severely wounded, he continued to lead his
men with great courage and determination.
In this fighting the undermentioned members of
the staff were killed: Sergt. Percy Walton (R.F.A.,
Asylums) on the i8th to the west of Fricourt, Lieut.
C. J. Fox (ist R.W. Rents, Educ.) and S. V. Scutt

Third Phase, September to November.
In another general attack on 15th September Flers
was captured by the 41st Division and New Zealand
troops assisted by several tanks,^ Martinpuich by the
15th and Courcelette by the Canadians. High Wood,
reached by cavalry during the fighting on 14th July,
had been attacked by the 33rd and 51st Divisions
later in the month and by the ist on 3rd September,
but each time without permanent success. Out-
flanked by the fall of Flers, it was at length captured
on the 15th by the 47th Division after sharp fighting.
On the i8th an advance was made towards Morval.
' This was tho first occasion on which these new engines of war
were used.
46
These were the best results which, since the beginning
of the battle, had been obtained in any one operation.
A further advance on the 25th resulted in the capture
of Morv^al by the 5th Division, and Les Bceufs by the
6th and the Guards, while next day Gueudecourt fell
to the 2ist Division and Combles to the 56th.
The enemy was thus cleared from much of the high
land which he had held for the previous two years and
instead of overlooking our trenches was now over-
looked by them. Thiepval, on the left of the advance,
where the attack had failed on ist July, still continued
to offer a resolute and obstinate resistance. However
on the 26th, in conjunction with the operations on the
right at Gueudecourt and Combles, Mouquet Farm was
captured by the Canadians and the nth Division, and
by the morning of the next day the whole of Thiepval
had been seized by the i8th Division.
Lieut, A. C. Dancer (5th Dorsets, Educ.) for con-
spicuous gallantry in the fighting at Thiepval and
Mouquet Farm was awarded the M.C. " He estab-
lished and maintained communications throughout
the operations with great courage and skill. On one
occasion he himself killed several enemy snipers."
About this time also Sergt. J. H. Taylor (R.W. Surr.,
Parks) was awarded the D.C.M. " for conspicuous
gallantry in action. He commanded his men with
great courage and initiative, holding a front line
position until relieved." Sergt. T. F. Watkins (R.F.A.,
L.F.B.) was awarded the M.M.
Between ist and 3rd October the enemy's fourth
system of defences was breached by the 47th Division,
at and near Eaucourt I'Abbaye, and on the 7th the
23rd captured Le Sars and the 20th advanced to the
east of Gueudecourt.
At this point when great results were in prospect,
even the cutting off or enforced withdrawal of the enemy
as far as Arras and the river Scarpe, the weather, which
for some time had been unfavourable, completely
47
broke up. A month's incessant rain made the roads,
already much damaged by the traffic and shell-fire,
almost impassable either for troops or supplies, and
in the mists aeroplane reconnaissance was imprac-
ticable. The enemy thus had time in which to re-
organise his troops and to construct new defences.
Except therefore for the operations in the valley of
the Ancre (see p. 50) the battle, after more than
three months' continuous fighting, died down with
our line on the forward slope of the ridge running
through Les Boeufs, Gueudecourt and Le Sars.
Sergt. L. Willey (ist E. Surr., Housing) was awarded
the M.M. for bravery shown at Combles on 25th
September when, after all the officers of his company
had become casualties, he re-organised half the com-
pany, consolidated the new position and held it until
reheved on the night of the 26th. Sergt. F. Hills (Lond.,
Educ.) gained the M.M. at Eaucourt I'Abbaye on 8th
October when he carried out a most successful recon-
naissance under heavy fire, and about this time Sergt. S.
Simpson (Lond., Educ.) also received the same decora-
tion. Captain A. B. Raffle (R.A.M.C, Pub. Health)
was awarded the M.C. for general distinguished service.
The casualty lists were very heavy, the deaths
among the Council's staff being as follows: On loth
September W. H. Hird (5th Lond., Educ.) was killed
near Guillemont, B. E. Clarke (7th Middx., Educ.)
on the nth and J. G. Armes (3rd Lond., Tram.) on the
12th, both near Leuze Wood, while H. O. Wood (ist

Battle of the Ancre.
The failure at Thiepval and Beaumont Hamel on
1st July and the partial success at the former on 26th
September have already been referred to (see pp. 39
and 46). Our advance over the high land east of
Thiepval to the line Les Boeufs — Gueudecourt — Le Sars
threatened to cut off the Germans in. the valley of the
Ancre round about Hamel and Beaucourt, but the
continual rain put an end to that advance. It was
therefore decided to deal with the enemy positions on
the Ancre by direct assault.^ Early in November the
weather improved, with frost in place of rain. On
13th November, after a bombardment lasting 48 hours,
the attack was launched in a mist and at almost every
point was completely successful. On this or succeeding
days the 19th and 39th Divisions captured St. Pierre
Divion and land to the east, the 63rd was successful
at Beaucourt, the 51st at Beaumont Hamel and the
2nd to the north thereof. The number of prisoners
taken was 7,200.
In the fighting near Beaumont Hamel Lieut, (after-
wards Captain) F. G. Bull (23rd R. Fus., Clerk) gained
the M.C., and in the same neighbourhood Sergt. T. J.
1 For plan, see p. 36.

Highdrs., Arch.) near Beaumont Hamel, on the 14th
H. J. Dunford (Hon. Artillery Co., Educ.) near Beau-
court and on the same date C. J. L. Jewell (R.G.A.,
Tram.) died near Albert of wounds received the day
before, probably in this sector.
Summary.
The net immediate result of the Battle of the Somme
was the piercing of the enemy's lines on a front of
some seven miles and to an average depth of three or
four miles, and the capture of 38,000 prisoners, 29
heavy guns, 96 field guns, 136 trench mortars and 514
machine guns. The enemy's withdrawal in the spring of
1917 (see p. 56) south of the Scarpe and in the valley
of the Somme was a further direct result. Of much
more importance, however, than the gain of ground or
the capture of prisoners, was the moral effect of the
fact that our men had driven the Germans out of
strongly fortified positions and had held the positions
so won against frequent counter-attacks. Casualties
of course had been heavy but the enemy's losses both
in men and material were not much less than ours.^
In the second place the pressure on Verdun was
relieved so effectually that in the latter part of the
year the French weie able to win back much of the
ground lost in the earlier part and to capture many
prisoners and guns. Finally the enemy was prevented
from moving troops to the Italian or Russian fronts
> The losses admitted by the Germans were 444,933 which, in
view of their methods, might have to be increased by 50 per cent.
(Times Literary Supplement, 20th January, 1921, p. 34). The British
losses in July, 1916, were 196.081 (Capt. P. E. Wright, At the
Supreme War Council, p. 121), but this rate was far from being
maintained. Our total losses were 499,476 {ibid., p. 33). The
French losses were less than the British. It must be remembered,
however, that the British casualty lists included the names of those
who received very light wounds; usually such light cases were not
included in the lists of the other belligerents.
5«
lor, at the end of the year, his strength in France was
greater than in July.
Although only British operations are dealt with in
this sketch it should be stated that throughout the
battle the French played a most prominent part. The
Germans were not expecting an attack from them so
that their advance on our right was most successful,
particularly at first, and carried them almost as far
as Peronne. Then the German resistance stiffened, but
all through the operations the French continued to
assist the right of our advance and to push the enemy
back on both sides of the Somme. Their total advance
was from four to six miles on a front of about
fourteen miles.
General Fighting during the latter half of 1916.
Sergt. F. King (R.F.A., L.F.B.) was awarded the

Cronyn (R. Fus., Asylums) the same decoration for
bravery at some place unknown. Sergt. J. V. Jeanes,
M.M. (Gren. Gds., Asylums) for bravery at Ypres was

CHAPTER V.
Western Front, 1917.
During the winter of 1916-17 the British took over a
further section of the Hne, principally that which had
fallen to the French at the Battle of the Somme. With
the completion of this operation the British sector
extended from the north of Ypres to the Amiens-
Roye road, a distance of about 115 miles. The under-
mentioned deaths among the staff on service occurred
about this time. H. W. Cooper (13th Lond., Tram.)
died on 6th January of wounds received the day before,
and F. W. Groombridge (Army Cyclists Corps, Tram.)
was killed near Bullecourt on the 26th, Walter Peters
(R.A.M.C., Asylums) died of bronchitis at Etaples on
the nth, and Lieut. J. A. Monkhouse (R.A.M.C,
Educ.) on the 23rd, of heart trouble following trench
fever. During February Frank Bailey (i6th Middx.,
Tram.) was killed near Combles on the 4th, Corporal
C. G. Adams (2 /5th Lond., Pub. Health) died on the
6th of wounds received near Arras on the 2nd, Scrgt.
S. R. Bencc, M.M. (3rd Lond., Educ), on the 17th,
54
probably near Neuve Chapelle, C. T. Harris (3rd Cold.
Gds., Parks) on the 22nd near Combles, Lance-Corp.
A. R. Hart (7th Middx., Educ.) on the 23rd near
Neuve Chapelle, and F. H. H. Taylor (7th Buffs,
Educ.) on the 27th. Lieut. J. V. Amos (R.F.A., Parks)
died at Bethune on the 13th of illness, and W. J.
Power (9th R. Fus., Educ.) on the 17th of appendicitis.
Bombr. J. A. George (R.G.A., Asylums), wounded near
Arras on 14th February, died in England on 25th
January, 1918.
G. W. Sapsworth (17th Lond., Educ.) died at Pope-
ringhe on ist March of wounds received the day before
near Ypres, C. W. Bishop (2nd R. Berks, Tram.) on
the 4th near Peronne, Capt. D. F. Goodwin (R.F.A.,
Arch.) near Rozieres, and H. G. Brice (6th Lond.,
Tram.) near Arras on the 7th, E. W. Vince (20th Lond.,
Parks) near Dickebusch and C. R. Darkens (13th
E. Surr., Tram.) in the area of the Somme on the
14th, and Ernest Lewis (23rd Lond., Educ.) near
Zillebeke on the 15th.
Capt. A. C. Hancock, M.C., (R.A.M.C, Asylums) was
awarded a bar to his M.C. for conspicuous good work
in advanced dressing stations, near the Butte de
Warlencourt early in 1917, " notably when he suc-
cessfully conducted evacuation of wounded under
heavy shell fire and adverse circumstances. ... By
his initiative, personal courage and devotion to duty
he was responsible for the able carrpng out of wounded
through a barrage of shell fire for six days. He was
then severely gassed, but persisted in attempting duty
until physically incapable."
Fighting in the Valley of the Ancre.
The fighting at the end of 1916 closed with the
capture of Beaumont Hamel and Beaucourt in the
valley of the Ancre. This advance, if continued, would
enable the enemy's strong positions at Serre and
Gommecourt, which had repulsed all assaults in 19 16,
to be attacked in flank or in rear, and it was natural
55
that, in the spring of 1917, the fighting should com-
mence at the same point. ^ During'} anuary our position
at Beaumont Hamel was extended and consoHdated,
and on 6th February, Grandcourt, and on the 7th
Baillescourt Farm were occupied. A further advance
on the 17th up to Petit Miraumont led to the evacua-
tion by the enemy of the defences of Pys, Miraumont
and Serre, and on the 25th these places with Warlen-
court to the east were occupied. On the 27th Gomme-
court fell, followed by Puisieux-au-Mont on the 28th.
After a week's delay to enable artillery to be brought
up and communications to be put in order, Irles was
attacked and captured at dawn on loth March.
In an attempted advance in February up the valley
of the Ancre towards Pys, Capt. J. W. Woods (2nd
Yorks L.I., Educ.) " accompanied by six men . . .
pushed forward in front of his company, thereby
effecting the capture of 60 prisoners. Later, he took
charge of the right-half battalion and consoHdated
his position under the most difficult conditions." For
this gallantry he was awarded the M.C. For his gallant
conduct and devotion to duty on 17th February
during operations near Miraumont, Sergt. Thomas
Eaves (8th Suff., Tram.) was awarded the M.M.
In this fighting Lieut. L. T. Despicht, M.C. (4th
Beds, Educ.) was killed on nth February, Capt.
Leon Simons, M.C, B.Sc. (22nd R. Fus., Educ), Sergt.
Frank Trevett, M.M. (ist K.R.R., Tram.), Sergt.
E. G. Stanbrough (22nd R. Fus., Arch.) and A. E.
Lassetter (nth R. Fus., Educ.) on the 17th in the
advance on Miraumont, and Sergt. Frederick Prior
(23rd R. Fus., Tram.) on the i8th. Lieut. S. D. Lang,
B.A. (2/5th Yorks L.L, Educ), wounded in this
neighbourhood on the 20th, died on the 23rd.
German Retreat.
For some time it had been suspected that the
German ^^dthdrawal in the valley of the Ancre would
* Forplan. see p. 36.
56
be extended to other parts of their front. A constant
watch was maintained, and on 14th March portions of
the enemy's Unes to the south of Sailly-Saillisel were
found to be empty. A general advance between Roye
and Arras was ordered for the 17th when Chaulnes and
Bapaume were entered; next day Nesle and Peronne
fell. The advance continued on succeeding days, but
great care had to be exercised so that progress was slow.
It was known that the enemy was falling back upon
fortified positions, carefully selected, and possessing
ample communications for the movement of troops
and supplies. Our men, on the other hand, had to
abandon their defences, and to move forward more
or less in the open; their communications lay across
a desolate region which for four months recently had
been the scene of most destructive fighting. Sudden
counter-attacks were to be expected at almost any
time or any place, and such attacks, if successful,
would have far-reaching results. To add to the diffi-
culties, roads and railways had been mined, bridges
blown up and stores and farm stocks removed. Shelter
of any kind was hard to find, for all buildings, both
public and private, including several of great historical
or archaeological interest, had been pillaged and de-
stroyed or at least rendered uninhabitable. In some
of themjmines with delayed action had been left,
which exploded after the arrival of our men and
caused many casualties. All this of course was legiti-
mate warfare. Less legitimate, and, indeed, com-
pletely opposed to civiUsed practice, were the poisoning
and pollution of wells, which occurred in so many
places that the work must have been done under
orders. The destruction of the numerous orchards
was of no military advantage, but was rather a proof
of a petty and spiteful disposition in those who
planned the work.
In face of growing resistance the pursuit gradually
slackened, and about 8th April our troops were
57
definitely held up on a line (see pp. 92 and 37) which,
starting from opposite St Quentin on our right, passed
to the east of Epehy, near Havrincourt Wood and
Croisilles, to the eastern suburbs of Arras where it
joined the original line. The withdrawal extended
much farther than this, in fact from Soissons in the
south to Arras in the north, a distance of 70 miles,
or, allowing for the curves in the line, a battle front of
120 miles. Two-thirds of this was opposite the British,
the remainder being opposite the French. The greatest
distance through which the line was withdrawn was
about 20 miles, this being near Roye; elsewhere,
except of course at the extremities, the withdrawal
averaged about 15 miles.
Lieut. S. J. F. Philpott, (R.G.A., Educ.) gained the
M.C. on 6th April, when a magazine containing cart-
ridges and fuses was set on fire, and the enemy pro-
ceeded to shell the spot. With two others he rushed
into the blazing mass and extricated boxes of fuses
from the fuse store.
Although there was no prolonged resistance during
the retreat, there was sharp fighting at various points
and Sergt. W. A. WilHams (12th Middlx., Stores) was
killed on 17th March near Bapaume, H. E. Lawrance
(2nd H.A.C., Arch.) near Ecoust St. Mein on the 31st,
C, A. Sanderson (R. Inn. Fus., Educ.) on ist April,
George Saunders (8th R. Fus., Tram.) near Arras on
the 4th, Corporal W. J. Burford (4th Oxf. and Bucks
L J., Educ.) near Ronssoy on the 5th, and Sergt. Bertie
Elliott (2/4th Oxf. and Bucks L.I., Educ.) near St.
Quentin on the 7th.
Battles of Arras, 1917.
For the spring of 1917 the French, now under
General Nivellc in succession to General Joffre, had
planned in the Champagne area north-west of Rheims
an ambitious scheme of attack from which great results
were expected. To ensure concerted action the British
army was to some extent placed under the orders of
Arras 1917.
59
General Nivelle, and it was arranged that it should
attract the enemy's reserves by opening an offensive to
the east of Arras. The enemy had obtained an inkling
of what was proposed and the retreat, just referred
to, between Soissons and Arras was carried out partly
with the intention of dislocating the Allies' plans.
Fortunately the withdrawal near Arras was slight and
the British plans were hardly interfered with.
Arras, as the principal city in the British sector of
the front and also as the French city which, after
Rheims, sustained most damage from the war, merits
a brief description. It is situated on the river Scarpe,
a canalised stream flowing through a marshy valley
and from this point eastwards navigable for barges.
The surrounding country is much like the Somme
country — bare sloping uplands, the chief points in
which are Vimy Ridge on the north with a height
of 475 feet and Monchy-le-Preux to the south-east
with a height of 350 feet. Arras had been an important
place for over 2,000 years for, in the time of JuHus
Caesar, it was the capital of the Atrebates from whom,
like the surrounding province of Artois, it derived its
name, and ia the 6th century it became the seat of a
bishopric. After various vicissitudes in the Hundred
Years' War between England and France, it passed
into the power of the Spaniards but was taken from
them by the French in 1640.^ In the Middle Ages it
gave its name of " arras " to the special kind of
tapestry for the manufacture of which it was noted.
Overlooked by the enemy from the high ground to
the north-east and south-east, and closely hemmed in
on three sides by trenches dug through several of the-
suburbs, it suffered terribly from the war. The early
16th-century Hotel de Ville, regarded as one of the
most beautiful buildings in northern France, was
completely destroyed. The Grande-Place and the
^ Some of the architecture has been said to show Spanish
influence, but this seems to be incorrect. (Notes and Queries,
7th Jan., I9?2.)
E

Petite-Place, surrounded by gabled houses dating from
the 17th century or earlier, with charming arcades, were
wrecked. The cathedral became a roofless ruin, piled
with debris to a'height of ten or twenty feet. Extensive
areas near the station and in the middle of the city
were so damaged as to be uninhabitable.
As at the Somme our preparations included the
construction of many miles of ordinary and narrow
gauge railways, the formation of new roads, the pro-
vision of accommodation and water for tens of thou-
sands of troops, and the accumulation of immense
quantities of guns, ammunition and supplies. In the
chalk under the city were immense catacombs dating
from very early times. These were linked up into one
system, lit by electricity, and connected with the
trenches. A few days before the attack large bodies
of troops, brought up to the city under cover of dark-
ness, were concealed in these catacombs with the
result that at the opening of the assault the British
were in much greater strength than the Germans
expected.
The front attacked extended for fifteen miles, from
Croisilles in the south to the northern end of the Vimy
Ridge. For most of this distance the enemy's defences
consisted of three separate trench systems forming a
highly organised belt, and to deal with these a heavy
bombardment was necessary. This commenced three
weeks before the date fixed for the assault and gradu-
ally increased in intensity, while from time to time
extensive discharges of gas were made. The assault
was launched in a storm of sleet and wind at 5.30 on
•the morning of Easter Monday, 9th April, and, differ-
ing from the opening of the Battle of the Somme nine
months earlier, was everywhere successful. By 7.20
the first objective had been captured and by noon
most of the second, while before the end of the day
wide gaps had been forced in the enemy's third system.
Counting from the south, that is from the right of
6i
the advance, the troops responsible for these excellent
results were the 30th Division at St. Martin-sur-
Cojeul, the 56th at Neuville Vitasse, the 14th at Tele-
graph Hill, the 3rd and the 12th along the Arras-
Cambrai road followed by the 37th towards Orange
Hill, the 15th at Railway Triangle and Feuchy, the 9th
at Blangy followed by the 4th at Fampoux, the 34th
at Point du Jour and the 51st further north. Tanks
co-operated in the capture of Tilloy and Railway
Triangle. The attack on Vimy I^dge was brilliantly
carried out by the Canadian Corps of four Canadian
divisions.
In spite of heavy falls of snow and rain the success
was extended on the loth by the capture of Orange
Hill and the summit of Vimy Ridge, on the nth by
the capture of Monchy and by an attempt on Bulle-
court and on the 12th by the capture of Heninel
and Wancourt in the south, and two hills known as
the Pimple and the Bois-en-Hache in the valley of
the Souchez south-west of Lens. During the next
few days the enemy vacated many of his trenches
to the south, west and north of Lens, and these were
promptly occupied.
Altogether the fighting between 9th and i6th April
yielded the most important results achieved by us
up to that time. The front was advanced an average
of four miles on a length of fifteen. The gains included
about 8,500 yards, near the Scarpe, of the Hindenburg
line, a system of trenches which had been very strongly
constructed in positions specially suitable for defence.
Moreover the British position was much improved
by the seizure of high ground by which it had pre-
viously been dominated. The prisoners numbered
13,000 and over 200 guns were captured.
In the fighting near Gavrelle on the 24th, Corporal
A. C. Batchelor (loth R. Fus., Comp.), before com-
munication by signal could be established and when
nearly all the officers had become casualties, maintained
62
touch between battalion headquarters and the front line,
and in doing so he thrice made his way through very
heavy fire and returned with valuable information. For
this gallantry he was awarded the M.M.
Those who lost their lives in the first eight days of
the battle included Herbert Stagnell (13th K.R.R.,
Stores) killed near Feuchy, G. E, Downham (ist Rif.
Bde., Pub. Cont.) north of Fampoux, Sergt. W. E.
Newton (R.G.A., Parks) near Arras, and Lance-Corp.
Benjamin Rotenberg (Wilts Yeo., Educ.) on Vimy
Ridge, all on 9th April. On the loth Lance-Corp. A. G.
Greenwood (8th Middx., Educ.) was killed to the
east of Neuville Vitasse and C. H. Plummer (loth
R, Fus., Tram.) near Monchy, and on the nth Capt.
B. T. Bryant (5th Line, Educ). B, A. Savage (nth
Middx., Parks.) wounded on the 9th, and A. E.
Newton (3rd Lond., Educ.) on the 12th, died on the
12th and 13th respectively. On the 14th Sergt. A. G.
Chick (Educ.) and Corporal C. J. Brunning (Tram.)
of the 9th Londons, and James Scowcroft (Educ.) and
Lance-Corp. Arthur Bradbury (Solr.) of the i6th
Londons, were killed between Heninel and Cherisy.
Continuation of the Battle.
In the ordinary way the battle would now have been
broken off and the bulk of our men transferred to the
neighbourhood of Ypres in preparation for the fighting
which will be described later. The French offensive,
however, near Rheims had been held up by the bad
weather and it was therefore desirable to continue
to engage the enemy at Arras. Accordingly on 23rd
April a fresh assault was opened between Croisilles
and Gavrelle and also near Lens. The 30th and 50th
Divisions advanced near Cherisy, the 15th took, but
lost, Guemappe, the 29th advanced to the east of
Monchy, the 51st was heavily engaged at Roeux, the
63rd captured Gavrelle, and the 5th was successful
in a minor operation south-west of Lens. Guemappe
was retaken by us next day
63
On the 28th the attack was renewed on a front of
eight miles north of Monchy, when the 12th Division
was successful between Monchy and the Scarpe, the
2nd near Oppy and the Canadians at Arleux. On 3rd
May in an attack extending from Bullecourt to Fresnoy
ground was gained at each of these places, at the
former by the Australians and at the latter by the
Canadians. The Australians, being open to attack
on three sides, were hard pressed, but in spite of many
counter-attacks held their ground for two weeks until
the advance of troops on each flank relieved the
pressure.
On 5th May the French captured the Chemin-des-
Dames, to the east of Soissons, and, General Petain
having now succeeded General Nivelle, it was agreed
that the main effort of the British should be shifted
from Arras northward to the neighbourhood of Ypres.
The attention of the enemy continued to be engaged,
but now various feints were employed for the purpose.
One of the most amusing consisted of a heavy bom-
bardment of the German lines followed by the appear-
ance in No Man's Land of numerous troops and tanks.
These were all dummies manipulated by ropes but
they effectually deceived the enemy, for in a subsequent
communique he claimed that the attack had been
annihilated. There was still serious fighting, however,
and on the 8th our men gained a footing in Bulle-
court, but did not capture the whole until ten days
later. On the 8th Fresnoy was lost but Roeux and
the adjoining chemical works, which had been con-
tinually changing hands for over a month, were,
between the 12th and the 14th, finally captured and
held. Between 20th May and i6th June possession
was gradually obtained of a sector of the enemy's line
from Bullecourt to the west of Fontaine-lez-Croisilles.
On 14th June the crest of Orange Hill to the east of
Monchy was captured by a surprise attack. Many
fierce counter-attacks followed but, although advanced
64
posts changed hands frequently, the main hne, which
gave important facilities for observation, remained
permanently in our possession.
In the second phase of the battle the Hne was
advanced only about a mile, but 8,000 prisoners were
captured, with 57 guns, bringing the total gains up to
21,000 prisoners and 257 guns, in addition to many
machine-guns and trench mortars and immense
quantities of war material. About twelve miles of
the Hindenburg line or of systems allied to it were
captured. Our total casualties amounted to 196, no. ^
Captain A. C. Hancock, M.C. and bar (R.A.M.C,
Asylums) received a second bar to his M.C. when " he
established his advanced dressing station in a village,
although it was under very heavy shell fire. He
attended and evacuated a very large number of
wounded, working all night, finally going out himself
along the front to see if there were any left." In the
fighting at Oppy Lieut, (afterwards Captain) F. G.
Bull (23rd R. Fus., Clerk) was awarded a bar to his
M.C, " for his conspicuous gallantry ... as battalion
signalling officer when, in spite of continuous heavy
shelling and constant moves over difficult ground, he
maintained communications." Capt. A. A. Riley
(7th Middx., Comp.) received the M.C. for his con-
spicuous gallantry near Monchy on 3rd May when " an
assault having failed, and most of his officers being
casualties, he collected and re-organised all the men he
could find and formed a strong front against counter-
attacks by occupying and linking up a line of shell-
holes. After his battahon was relieved he remained
behind to guide the stretcher-bearers to the wounded,
thereby saving many lives." On the same date near
the river Cojeul Co. Sergt-Maj. E. J. P. Dainty (2nd
Lond., Educ.) won the D.C.M., " for conspicuous
gallantry and devotion to duty in consohdating
and defending a position which had become almost
' Capt. P. E. Wright, At the Supreme War Council, p. 33.
» 65
untenable through flanking and frontal fire. His total
indifference to danger restored the situation at a very
critical moment when no officers were on the spot."
The M.M. was awarded to R. Bristow (R.A.M.C,
Educ), for attending to wounded men during a four
days' continuous attack by the British, to J. Ethering-
ton (6th R. W. Rents, Asylums) when " in charge of
a bombing section . . , with the help of his comrades
he put enemy's machine gun out of action and held
the trench until reinforcements arrived," and to Lance-
Corp. W. W. Cracknell (ist Bord., Comp.) who, on
i9th/2oth May at Monchy " carried messages ... all
night through the heaviest barrages. At one time,
when things were critical, he carried a message through
a terrific machine-gun fire and, . . . though wounded,
carried on and delivered the message. . . . When his
officer was knocked out he acted as N.C.O., and by his
great courage, coolness and tireless energy was in-
valuable to his company commander." Staff-Sergt. D,
Keenan (R.A.M.C. Asylums) and Bombr. W. T. Mills
(R.F.A., L.F.B.) won the M.M. for gallantry in action.
In the later fighting Corporal H. J. Hollins (9th
E. Surr., Tram.) was killed near Lens on 17th April,
and William Johnston (R.G.A., Educ.) near Arras on
the 19th, W. G. Udall (R.E., Educ.) wounded in this
sector on the 20th, died on the 22nd. On the 23rd
Lieut. R. D. Wills, M.M. (5th Bord., Arch.), was
killed near Wancourt, G. E. F. Gray (19th Manch.,
Parks) near Monchy, and C. T. Barker (R.N. Div.,
Parks) near Gavrelle, and on the 24th Victor Williams
(2nd R. Fus., Asylums) near Monchy, while on the
28th P. J. Martin (7th R. Fus., Parks) died of wounds
received two days before in the Gavrelle sector. On
the 29th Lieut. M. E. Wardley (22nd R. Fus., Educ.)
and H. R Ponton, A.R.LB.A. (17th R. Fus., Arch.)
were killed near Oppy or Gavrelle and on the 30th
A. H. Brownsword (R.G.A., Estates and Val.) died
of wounds received at Vimy Ridge on the 21st.

Battle of Messines, 1917.
It has been explained (see p. 15) how during the
first Battles of Ypres the Germans pressed the British
back from the Messines-Wytschaete ridge, the highest
ground near the city, and how they were thus able
to overlook and, in places, to enfilade the British Hues
to the south and south-east of Ypres and to the north-
east of Armentieres.
The enemy's position here, already of great natural
strength, had been so well fortified that it might
have been regarded as impregnable. One system of
trenches skirted the western foot of the ridge, a
second, to the west of Messines and Wytschaete,
defended the crest, and a third, to the east of Oost-
taverne, protected the eastern part of the ridge. In
addition, numerous woods, hamlets and farmhouses
had been converted with great skill and industry into
strong points which would form centres for rallying
or defence,^
The usual preparations for bringing forward troops,
guns, ammunition and stores were of course much
impeded by the fact that the enemy had direct observa-
tion over our movements. These labours had also to be
supplemented by the construction of a series of mines.
In all twenty-four were formed, nineteen of which
were used for the assault. The enemy, aware of his
danger, tried to avert it by means of counter-mines,
and at Hill 60 and the Bluff in particular under-
ground fighting continued for months. In spite of
this and of difficulties from springs and streams which
> For plan, see p. 12.
68
were liable to flood the work, over 8,000 yards of
gallery were driven and one million pounds of explo-
sive were stored therein.
At 3.10 am. on 7th June the nineteen mines were
exploded, one at Spanbroekmolen forming a crater
140 yards across and another, near Hill 60, taking up
with it a whole company of Wurtembergers. Simul-
taneously the final bombardment opened and the
attack was launched on a front of ten miles from the
north of Ploegsteert Wood to a point just north of
Hill 60. The front system offered practically no
resistance and by noon the Anzac Corps on the right
had captured Messines, the 36th and i6th Divisions
had captured Wytschaete, the 41st had reached a
formidable position in a sunken road known as the
Dammstrasse, and the 47th had fought its way from
the Bluff along the Ypres-Comines canal. The infantry
made such rapid progress that, over the broken
ground, the artillery and tanks could hardly keep
pace with them, and when, early in the afternoon, the
Oosttaverne line was reached they halted there to
enable a new assault to be organised. This was as
successful as the former, and by the evening the whole
line was in our hands. A violent counter-attack on
the 8th was repulsed at all points. The progress on
the right caused the Germans to the north of the river
Lys to vacate their trenches which were promptly
occupied. Also on the 14th we made a slight advance
along most of the line reached on the 7th, but there-
after no further efforts were made to exploit the success.
By this victory a standing menace to two sections
of our line was removed, the enemy was deprived
of a commanding position on the defence of which
he had lavished much skill and labour, bis lines were
pierced to a depth in some parts of three miles, and
in addition to many killed and wounded he lost 7,200
prisoners. Much material and stores, including 67 guns,
were captured. Our total casualties were about 16,000.
69
The effect of the initial success was not marred, as at
the Somme, at Arras, and later in the year at Pass-
chendaele, by long and costly attempts to carry on
the action without effective artillery preparation
and ample supphes of all kinds. Mr. John Buchan in
his History (vol. xx. p. 71) says of this brilliant
engagement that it will rank " with Nivelle's two
victories at Verdun, in the winter of 1916, as a perfect
instance of the success of the limited objective."
Lieut. W. J. Field (ist R. Fus., Educ.) in the attack
on the 7th opposite the Dammstrasse "... showed
great promptness and good leadership in capturing
two machine-guns. . . . He also captured many
prisoners and by his determination and resource many
casualties were avoided." He was awarded the M.C.
G. F. Bell (14th Northld. Fus., Asylums) received
the M.M. for bravery under heavy fire when, though
wounded, he brought in a wounded officer and kept
up constant communications for three days and two
nights.
On the 7th, the opening day of the battle, the
Council lost only two of its staff, Harry Amos
(Tramways) and H. S. Zoller (Education), both of the
2ist Londons, who were killed in the advance along
the Ypres-Comines canal. Lieut. E. N. Makeham
(13th Middx., Clerk) who was wounded and missing
on the loth, died a prisoner of war on an unknown
date. Sergt. J. E. Hughes (12th R. Fus., Pub. H.) was
killed, probably in this part, on the i6th, as his division,
the 24th, was in reserve behind St. Eloi on the 9th.
Lombartzyde.
The following incident is worthy of mention.
Towards the end of June, in preparation for the third
Battle of Ypres, the British took over from the French
a short sector of the front extending from the Belgian
coast to the south of Nieuport. The part near the
coast was defended by breastworks in the sand dunes,
and, being intersected by several canals and approached
70
from the rear only by floating bridges, did not form
a satisfactory position. The enemy, reaUsing this and
suspecting an attack along the coast, took the initiative,
and on loth July opened an intense bombardment
which flattened out the breastworks and destroyed all
the bridges. It is said that as many as 182 batteries
were available for this, while only 13 were ready for
the defence,-^ An attack in great strength then followed
which so completely overwhelmed the ist Northamp-
tons and the 2nd K.R.R., which were holding the line,
that out of the two battaUons, numbering perhaps
from 1,200 to 1,500 men, only 74 escaped by swimming
the Yser in rear.
H. H. Chaplin (K.R.R., Asylums) was awarded the
M.M. for bravery shown in this engagement.
Battles of Ypres, 1917.
It wiU be remembered that in the first Battle of
Ypres the enemy captured ground to the south of
the city, and, in the second ground to the north and
east which completely commanded the defences. The
enemy was superior in numbers and in gun-power and,
as it was not possible to regain the lost positions, it
was suggested more than once that the place should
be abandoned, and that a new line which could be
defended more easily and with fewer losses should be
taken up on higher ground to the west. This was not
agreed to and so, for well over two years, our men
continued, at the price of heavy casualties, to hold on
to their inferior positions. Early in 1917 it was decided
to commence operations in the summer for freeing
the sahent and for deahng with the submarine peril
by capturing the Passchendaele ridge from which
long range guns could fire upon the enemy's sub-
marine bases at Bruges, Zeebrugge and Ostend. This
plan had to be subordinated to the French offensive,
and to meet their wishes the fighting at Arras was
prolonged into the early part of the summer. As it
■' Sir A. Conan Doyle, British Campaign in France, 1917, p. 130.
71
was not possible for our forces to conduct at the same
time two offensives on a large scale, this led to the
work at Ypres being postponed. However, in June,
the fighting at Arras died down and by the capture
of the I\Iessines ridge the way was, to some extent,
cleared for the proposed attack further north. The
preparations for this were more than usually difficult,
for, as the commander-in-chief wrote in his despatch,
"on no previous occasion . . . had the whole of the
ground from which we had to attack been so com-
pletely exposed to the enemy's observation."
All preliminaries having been at length completed,
the opening of the attack was fixed for 25th July, but
a few days before that date the Germans withdrew
many of their batteries to safer positions. The attack
was therefore postponed while these new positions
were being identified by the airmen and dealt with by
the artillery, and a succession of cloudy days led to a
further postponement until the 31st, On the 27th
the enemy's trenches near the Yser canal were found
to be empty, so that this formidable obstacle was at
once crossed and the position occupied by the French
to the north of Boesinghe and by the Guards Division
to the east.
The main battle may be conveniently divided into
five phases corresponding with our chief attacks as
follows: (i) 31st July to 15th August, (2) 1 6th August
to 19th September, (3) 20th September to 3rd October,
(4) 4th to 25th October, and (5) 26th October to the
early part of November.^
First Phase, ^ist July to i^th August.
The battle opened on 31st July with an attack on
a front of fifteen miles between the river Lys to the
south and Steenstraat on the north, the main attack
being directed upon the sector, seven and a half miles
wide, from the Zillebeke-Zandvoorde road to Boesinghe.
On the right, where the attack was not pressed, only the

enemy's front line was captured, but on the northern
half of the advance both his first and second systems
were taken. In detail, the 24th Division captured
part of Shrewsbury Forest, the 30th Sanctuary Wood,
the 8th Hooge and Bellewaarde ridge, the 15th Frezen-
berg, the 55th and 39th St. Julien, the 51st land to the
north-west of that village, and the 38th Pilckem.
Two French divisions on our left were equally suc-
cessful, advancing to the Steenbeek and capturing
Bixschoote, and all these gains were held against
numerous counter-attacks. Our men took over 6,000
prisoners and 25 guns.
During the afternoon rain began to fall and con-
tinued with hardly a break for four days. This put
an end to all reconnaissance by aeroplane, and it also
turned the low-lying shell-torn area over which we
had just advanced into a morass. Movement through
this was possible only along well-defined tracks which
soon became marks for the enemy artillery. On the
enemy's side the ground was as yet comparatively
undamaged, and he was therefore able with com-
parative freedom to re-organise his defences, and to
bring up reinforcements and supplies.
During the prehminary operations Corp. A. G.
Buck (R.F.A., Ch. Engr.) won the M.M., for con-
spicuous gallantry near Armentieres on 28th/29th
July, when at great personal risk, and although suffer-
ing from the effects of gas, he remained at work repair-
ing telephone lines which were repeatedly cut by shell
fire. Sergt. J. Orrin (R.E., Housing) gained the M.M.
on 3oth/3ist July, when an emplacement for firing
projectors for oil bombs was heavily shelled. Although
the officer in charge was killed, Sergt. Orrin carried on
with his work, and by his bravery and example
encouraged all other ranks who were engaged with
him. On many previous occasions he had performed
excellent service under adverse conditions.
On 31st July A. I. Brown (i8th K.R.R.. Tram.)
73
was killed near Hollebeke, Lieut. W. J. Field, M.C.
(ist R. Fus., Educ.) near Clonmel Copse to the north
of Shrewsbury Forest, Co. Sergt.-Maj. PL P. McAlister
(2nd Rif. Bde., Educ.) near Verlorenhoek, and Lance-
Corp. J. L Cohen (2nd Wilts., Educ.) and W. B.
Lewis (i2th R. Fus., Tram.) at places unknown. M. W.
Churchill (12th R. Fus., Tram.) was killed between
31st July -and 3rd August, George Penfold (R.G.A.,
Asylums) was killed near Zillebeke on 4th August,
Lance-Corp. A. E. Bennett (12th E. Surr., Asylums)
on the 5th, John White (R. Ir. Rif., Ch. Engr.) near
Frezenberg on the 6th, Victor Bown (R.F.A., Asylums)
on the loth, and Corporal J. F. Patterson (M.G.C.,
Tram.) near Zillebeke on the 14th. W. J. Colverd
(R.F.A., Tram.) died on the i6th of wounds received
the day before. W. E. Goddard (R.F.A., Tram.) died
on the 29th of wounds received on the 5th.
Second Phase, i6th August to igth September.
On i6th August the attack was resumed on a line
forming roughly a quadrant of a circle from the
Menin road round through St. Julien to the French
north-west of Langemarck. The enemy in the southern
part of this sector had adopted a new method of
defence, and, instead of manning a series of trenches,
he divided his troops among numerous " pill-boxes "
very strongly built of reinforced concrete. These
were distributed in depth and, being stoutly defended
with machine-guns, formed a serious obstacle. From
the Menin road through Frezenberg to St. Julien
little progress was made by the 8th and 56th Divisions,
but to the north-west of the latter village we were
more successful, the nth and 48th Divisions getting
a footing in the third trench system, and the 20th and
29th Divisions capturing Wijdendrift and Lange-
marck. On our left the French were also successful
as far north as Drie Grachten. Thirty guns were taken
and over 2,100 prisoners. The weather again broke
up and, as no big attack was practicable in so
74
water-logged a country, the rest of the month was
devoted to local operations against various strong
points.
Lieut. H. W. Fisher (R.F.A., Educ.) won the M.C.
near Polygon Wood on 17th August when "he was
in charge of an observation party attached to an
assaulting battalion. He followed the infantry closely
in the attack, and twice went to the most forward
position under heavy fire and brought back information
of the utmost value." Co, Sergt.-Maj. J. C. Cairns
(Oxf. and Bucks L.I., Educ.) was awarded the D.C.M.
on 22nd August and Co. Sergt.-Maj. W. A. Humphreys
(R.E., Educ.) the M.M. about this time, but no details
are available. In the fighting at Westhoek the latter
gained a bar to his M.M.
The 1 6th of August was a day of heavy casualties
among the staff. W. J. Relf (ist R. Dub. Fus., Tram.)
F. C. Brook (8th R. Dub. Fus., Asylums) Sergt. E. C.
Brown (R.H.A., Parks) and Corp. G. A. J. Clarkson
(7th Yorks L.L, Tram.) were killed in the salient
at various places unknown, Sergt. Ernest Swanson
(5th Lond., Educ.) at Glencorse Wood, C. P. Norby
(13th R. Irish Rif., Tram.), G. K. Lenney (13th R.
Irish Rif., Parks) and Lance-Corp. H. W. Baker
(12th R. Irish Rif., Parks) at the Frezenberg ridge,
Alfred Chaney (2nd R. Dub. Fus., Parks) at the
Hannebeek and A. J. Madden (8th Northd. Fus.,
Tram.) and W. J. Skipp (8th Northd. Fus., Tram.)
between St. JuHen and Poelcappelle.
H. T. J. Kenyon (R.A.M.C, Educ.) was killed on
the 17th, F. T. Townsend (2nd Middx., Asylums)
wounded that day near the Hannebeek, died on the
i8th, Corp. George Brooker (20th Lond., Educ.) on
the night of 20th/2ist, Lieut. Wilham Hornsby (6th
Somers. L.I., Educ.) at Glencorse Wood on the 21st,
Patrick Fitzgerald (7th Wore, Asylums) on the 26th.
W. J. Potter (i8th K.R.R., Educ.) was killed on
19th September near Shrewsbury Forest.
75
Third Phase, 20th September to yrd October.
Early in September the weather improved and
enabled the artillery and other preparations for
another attack to proceed. This was launched, after
a night of rain, in a mist on the morning of 20th
September on a front of eight miles between the
Comines canal on the south and the Ypres-Staden
railway on the north. Few points which can be
identified on a sketch map were included in the
objectives, so here it must suffice to say that at all
parts the advance to an average depth of 1,000 yards
was successful, the victorious divisions, counting from
the south, being the 19th, 39th, 4th and 23rd between
the canal and the Menin road, the Austrahan Corps
between the Menin road and the Ypres-Roulers rail-
way (in which sector they captured Inverness Copse
and Glencorse Wood and gained a footing in Polygon
Wood) and the 9th, 55th, 58th, 51st, and 20th be-
tween the Ypres-Roulers and Ypres-Staden railways.
The high ground, crossed by the Menin road, which
had so long formed the object of very fierce fighting
now passed into our possession. In addition, over
3,000 prisoners and a number of guns were taken.
Numerous counter-attacks followed which, though
gaining local successes, were eventually beaten off.
On the 26th the advance was resumed on a front
of six miles from the Menin road northwards to the
north-east of St. Julien. The Australians captured
Polygon Wood, the 3rd Division Zonnebeke and the
59th and 58th Divisions a series of positions to the
east and north-east of St. Juhen. The prisoners
numbered 1,600.
Lieut, (afterwards Capt.) R. A. Nicholl (R.E., Educ.)
was awarded the M.C. about this time for his gallantry
in laying " a pipe-line forward under incessant shell
fire. It was due to his energy and encouragement
that the Hue was completed in time for operations."
O.M. and Hon. Lt. F. Poole (R.A.M.C, Asylums) won
76
the M.C. " He remained at the advanced collecting
station for several days organising the rationing of the
wounded, and daily visited the relay posts and regi-
mental aid posts. . . . During heavy shelling he helped
to withdraw the wounded, and lives were saved by his
action and example." Sergt. E. A. Rose (R.E., Educ.)
was awarded the D.C.M. for exceptional gallantry and
devotion to duty between March and September. " On
September i8th and 19th he worked day and night
under incessant fire to put through a buried cable
route to the front line."
On 20th September Lieut. H. P. Oates (5th King's
Liverpool, Educ.) and T. H. Tigg (R.A.M.C, Tram.)
were killed near the Menin road, Co. Sergt-Maj. W. H.
Carr (2/6th Lond., Educ.) near St. Julien and F. W. A.
Smith (12th R. Suss., Educ.) at some place unknown,
Co. Sgt.-Maj. L. Dimond (2 /5th Lond., Educ), wounded
near St. Julien, and Lieut. S. P. Siebert (i6th Rif.
Bde., Educ), wounded near the Menin road, died on
the 2ist, and on the same day were killed Charles
Miller (12th E. Surr., Tram.), Lance-Corp. L. H.
Hymans (13th Lond., Educ.) and Sergt. T. W. Turner
(R.F.A., Tram.). Lieut. E. T. Winbush, B.Sc (R.F.A.,
Educ), was killed on the 24th east of Zillebeke, H. G.
Joyce (ist R.W. Surr., Asylums), on the 25th near
the Menin road. On the 26th Lieut. H, C. Hattam,
F.R.H.S. (4th Suff., Educ). was killed near Inverness
Copse, and Harry Birch (14th Hamp., Asylums) near
the Menin road, Lance-Corp. S. E. Helyar (2 /6th
S. Staffs, Educ.) on the 27th near Polygon Wood
and Lieut. James Wrigley (R.G.A., Educ.) on the
29th. F. W. Kceler (13th K.R.R., Tram.) was killed
on 1st October near the Menin road, and on the 2nd,
Corp. E. R. Jolly (4th E. Surr., Educ.) near Polygon
Wood and Lieut. D. J. Wilhams (M.G.C., Educ.) near
Polderhoek.
77
Fourth Phase, ^th to 25th October.
The weather had now cleared again and it was
decided to make a further advance between the
Menin road and the Ypres-Staden railway. Before the
advance began, however, the weather broke once more,
and on the night of the 3rd/4th the troops assembled
for the assault in a storm of wind and rain. Not-
withstanding these conditions the attack next morning
was successful, the 5th Division capturing Polderhoek,
the 2 1st Reutel, the AustraHans Broodseinde, the
New Zealanders Gravenstafel, and the nth and 4th
parts of Poelcappelle. The prisoners amounted to
more than 5,000 and, as the enemy was preparing an
attack and had moved up large forces into the battle
area, great numbers of his troops came under our
fire and suffered heavy casualties; in fact, Ludendorff
speaks of the German losses as " enormous." ^
Rain continued to fall for several days, but on the
9th the assault was resumed, the right flank of the
advance being at Zonnebeke, The AustraHans and
some English troops made progress towards Passchen-
daele, the nth Division at Poelcappelle and the 4th
and 29th along the Ypres-Staden railway, while the
Guards reached the southern outskirts of Houthulst
Forest. Persistent rain put an end to further operations
except for slight advances on very Hmited frontages.
On 22nd October the i8th and 34th Divisions gained
important posts east of Poelcappelle and the 35th
with the French secured a footing in Houthulst Forest.
During this fighting the M.M. was won by H.
Johnston (Beds, Asylums) at Hooge, and by Sergt,
J. A. Lingwood (H.A.C., L.F.B.) but no details are
available.
On 4th October, Co. Sergt.-Maj. H. C. Robson
(3/4th R.W. Surr., Educ.) was killed near Brood-
seinde and Capt. A. C. Dancer, M.C. (5th Dorset,
Educ.) near Poelcappelle, on the 5th Co. Sergt.-Maj.

and J. J. Gihoy (R.A.M.C, Tram.), wounded on the
14th, both died on the 19th. Edward Cox (R.F.A.,
Parks) was killed on the 21st, George Gaunt (R.E.,
Asylums) near Zillebeke on the 23rd, and William
Clark (R.F.A., Ch. Engr.) on the 24th.
Fifth Phase, 26th October to early November.
Words are hardly adequate to describe the state of
the battlefield at this time. The continual shell fire
and the almost continual rain had reduced the country
for several miles on our side of the line to one immense
swamp. Only the lips of the craters divided one shell
hole from another, and all were filled with mud. In
many places, where peaceful agriculture had flourished
for centuries, there remained not one sign of the useful
activities of mankind; not a vestige could be seen
of crops or of orchards or of pasture lands ; houses and
villages had been entirely blotted out; roads could be
traced only by the stumps of trees which once had
formed pleasant avenues along their sides; the woods
had been levelled and the fragments of their trees used
for gun-pits or to form tracks across the waste. Away
from the roads and the duck-board tracks movement
was hardly possible. At each step men sank to the
knee or the thigh, not a few stumbled into the shell
holes and, encumbered with their rifle, ammunition
79
and equipment, were drowned. Scores of tanks were
engulfed in the mud.
In such conditions it is not surprising that the
word Passchendaele came to be used by many, and
these were not all civiHans, as a symbol of waste and
useless suffering. But in battles and campaigns, as
in all other human affairs, it is not always the immedi-
ate object which must be regarded, and in the Pass-
chendaele operations other considerations, several of
which could not then be made public, had to be taken
into account.^ In the main these centred in the fact
that it was essential for the Allies to maintain the
initiative and at all costs to prevent the enemy from
moving troops to other fronts. The other AUies were
faced with important crises, and could not give much
assistance. The failure of the French offensive in
Champagne (see p. 62) was succeeded in May and
June by serious mutinies in their army. This, in the
opinion of Gen. Gouraud, was the most critical period
of the war. 2 The Russian revolution in March was
followed by the rapid decay of discipline, so that by
July the Russian armies had ceased to be a fighting
force. In the latter part of October the Itahans were
defeated at Caporetto with the loss of 200,000 prisoners
and 2,000 guns. The Americans who had entered the
war in April, 1917, were still training the troops who
were to fight for them. Of all the AUies, therefore,
only the British were capable at the time of engaging
the enemy's attention, and it was specially necessary
for them to do this because plans were afoot for the
surprise attack at Cambrai (see p. 82) from which
great results were expected.
The battle therefore had to proceed, and on 26th
October, in a downpour of rain which lasted all day,
the Canadians advanced along the Ravebeek towards
Passchendaele. On their left the R. Naval and the
' " Passchendaele, 1917," by Maj.-Gen. Sir J. Davidson, M.P., in
Nineteenth Coitury and After, for February, 1921.

8o
58th Divisions were successful to the east and north
of Poelcappelle. The 5th and 7th Divisions captured
Gheluvelt which had been lost three years before,
but their rifles, choked with mud during the advance,
were useless and they had to withdraw. On the 30th
the attack was continued, when the Canadians reached
the outskirts of Passchendaele and the R. Naval and
58th Divisions made what little progress was possible
across the swamps on the lower ground to the north-
west. On 6th November the Canadians rushed the
village and high ground to the north and north-west,
and on the loth, having consoHdated their gains,
made a further advance to the north.
The capture of this high ground marks the close
of the battle which, except for the short intervals
enforced by the weather or by the need of preparing
for the separate phases of the attack, had been carried
on continuously for more than three months. In
this gigantic conflict some 45 British divisions " by the
exercise," in the words of the commander-in-chief,
" of courage, determination and endurance to a
degree which has never been surpassed in war,"
defeated y^ German divisions with the loss of 24,065
prisoners, 74 guns and over 1,000 machine-guns, etc.
On a front of ten miles and in face of every kind of
difficulty they advanced to a depth varying from one
to nearly six miles, and by wresting from the enemy
practically all the high land near the city freed our
communications through Ypres from the dangers
which had so long threatened them. But these gains
were made at a terrible cost, for our casualties, includ-
ing the comparatively slight losses at Cambrai (see p.
82), are said to have been 454,463. ^
Capt. P. F. Watts (4th Beds, Educ.) was awarded
the M.C. for conspicuous gallantry in the advance on
Passchendaele on 30th October when he re-organised
and consolidated a line of posts after all other officers
1 Capt. P. E. Wright, At the Supreme War Council, pp. 33-4.
8i
in his sector had become casualties. Petty Offr. W.
Jarman (R. Nav. Div., Ch. Engr.) was awarded the
M.M. for his gallantry in the same neighbourhood,
when during a heavy counter-attack he defended with
a machine-gun a trench which had been abandoned
by other troops. Lance-Corp. T. J. Gunter (RE.,
Oxf. and Bucks L.I., Educ.) won the M.M. for his
gallantry in action at Houthulst Forest during the
eaily part of November, and Sergt. H. E. Hayward
(R.F.A., Asylums) for bravery in action in front of
Ypres.
Lieut. W. J. Reed (8th Devons, Educ), wounded
near Gheluvelt on 26th October, died two days later
as a prisoner of war, W. D. Shea (2/28th Lond., Educ.)
and H. N Field (4th Beds, Arch.) were killed on the
30th near Passchendaele, and Provost-Sergt. W. J.
Laird in the same neighbourhood on 4th November,
J. H. Counter, M.M. (ist Devons, Ch. Engr.), near
Polderhoek on the 6th, and Bombr. Henry Lilburn
(R.F.A., Tram.) near Passchendaele on the 8th.
Lens.
In the Battle of Arras and in the fighting which
followed it much ground was gained near Lens.
Towards the middle of August, in order to prevent
the enemy from concentrating all his attention on
resisting our advance from Ypres, the assault was
renewed to the north-west of the town. On the 15th
the Canadians, attacking on a front of about 2\ miles,
captured Hill 70, which had been won but lost again
in the Battle of Loos, the mining suburbs of Cite
Ste. Elizabeth, Cite St. Emile and Cite St. Laurent,
the whole of Bois Rase and the western half of Bois
Hugo which had also figured in the earlier battle.
Six days later they closed in upon the town from the
west and south west. ^
*For plan, see p. 58.
82
Battle of Camhrai.
It was well known that, in order to withstand the
advance at Ypres, the enemy had withdrawn troops
from other portions of the front, and a surprise attack
was therefore planned on a part of the defences thus
weakened. The sector near Cambrai, where several
important roads and railways converged, was selected
for the attempt. In order to increase the surprise,
it was decided not to prelude the attack by a long
bombardment, but to rely upon tanks for smashing
the enemy's wire and for dealing with his strong posts
and machine-guns. Our Hne here, opposite the
Hindenburg line, ran, roughly, south-east and north-
west. Facing it across a shght dip was the Flesquieres
ridge defended by the Hindenburg support line, and
behind that again was another dip, the high ground
on the further side of which was crowned by Bourlon
Wood.i
Some 400 tanks were assembled with great secrecy
just behind the line between Gonnelieu and Hermies,
chiefly in Havrincourt Wood, and at 6.20 on the
morning of 20th November the attack was opened.
Although there was no rain the sky was cloudy, and
the enemy's chances of observation were diminished
by the smoke barrage which preceded the tanks. At
the same time, to add to his confusion and to prevent
him from moving reinforcements to the part actually
threatened, subsidiary attacks were launched east
of Epehy (see plan on p. 37) and between BuUecourt
and Fontaine - lez - Croisilles (see plan on p. 58) and
demonstrations were made with smoke, gas and
artillery on most of the British front south of the
Scarpe. Of these subsidiary attacks it will be sufficient
to say that at BuUecourt the 3rd and i6th Divisions
captured and held a very strong sector of trenches,
and took 700 prisoners. •
The main attack on a front of six miles was brilliantly
' For plan, see p. 37.
83
successful. The 12th Division, on the right, moving
along the Bonavis ridge, captured Lateau Wood,
the 20th La Vacquerie and Welsh Ridge, the 6th
Ribecourt, the 51st pushed forward as far as Fles-
quieres, the 62nd captured Havrincourt, Graincourt
and Anneux and the 36th trenches to the west of the
Canal du Nord. The 51st Division was held up at
Flesquieres, where a number of tanks were knocked
out, as mentioned by the commander-in-chief, " by
a German artillery officer who, remaining alone at his
battery, served a field-gun single-handed until killed
at his gun." The 29th Division passing between the
20th and 6th Divisions, seized Masnieres and Marcoing,
thus securing bridgeheads over the Canal de I'Escaut
(Scheldt Canal), which in this part formed the chief
defence of Cambrai. At Masnieres the bridge had
been damaged and unfortunately it broke down under
the weight of the first tank which attempted to cross it.
This left only one bridge for the advancing troops
and the accident, with the check at Flesquieres,
went far towards limiting the success of the day's
fighting. Early on the 21st Flesquieres fell, the 51st
Division pressing forward reached the southern out-
skirts of Bourlon Wood and, with the help of other
troops, captured Cantaing and Fontaine-notre-Dame.
The latter was lost next day, but as some set-off the
56th Division stormed a strong point known as
Tadpole Copse, on the left of our advance.
Owing to the comparatively few troops available
it was originally proposed not to continue the advance
after forty-eight hours, but when that period had
elapsed the enemy was still holding Fontaine and
Bourlon Wood. As these completely commanded our
position north of Flesquieres it was essential either
that they should be stormed or that, giving up some
of our gains, we should retire to the Flesquieres ridge.
The capture of Bourlon Wood would seriously threaten
the enemy's line to the north if, indeed, it did not
84
make it quite untenable, and with so great a prize
within reach it was decided to press on. On the 23rd
therefore the 51st Division made another attempt,
which eventually failed, on Fontaine, while the 40th
captured Bourlon Wood and part of the village
beyond. During the next few days these two villages
changed hands several times, but by about the 30th
the enemy appeared to have a firm hold of the villages
while we had an equally firm hold of the wood.
By that date the ten days' fighting had yielded
10,500 prisoners, half of whom were taken on the first
day, 142 guns and over 400 machine-gims, etc., with
great quantities of ammunition, stores and material.
The enemy's elaborate trenches were penetrated to a
depth of 4i miles, as great a distance as was gained
in more than three months' fighting on the Somme or
at Ypres.
Towards the end of November it was clear that the
enemy intended to counter-attack on an ambitious
scale. This opened on the 30th, the main attack being
from the north between Bourlon Wood and Tadpole
Copse, but it was preceded by a subsidiary attack
westwards upon our line to the south of Masnieres.
The hollows and folds usual in chalk country enabled
the enemy, assisted by a ground mist, to assemble,
without attracting notice, large bodies of infantry.
After a short bombardment, numbers of low-flying
aeroplanes rained machine-gun fire upon our trenches,
and immediately afterwards the attack was launched.
The left of the 55th Division was driven in and the
enemy, making great progress up 22 Ravine and across
the northern end of Bonavis Ridge, was able to take
the 12th and 20th Divisions in flank and rear. Villers
Guislain, Gonnelieu and Bonavis soon fell, and the
enemy even reached Gouzeaucourt, but was gallantly
driven out by the Guards Division which, on its way
to rest billets after heavy fighting at Fontaine and
Bourlon, was hurried into the conflict.
85
In the main assault further north the 29th Division
at Masniercs, the 47th at Fontaine, the 2nd at Bourlon,
and the 56th at Moeuvres and Tadpole Copse beat off
numerous attacks with very heavy losses. Here and
there posts were overwhelmed or driven back by
superior numbers, but any important points were re-
gained by counter-attacks and the line was everywhere
maintained.
On ist December the Guards retook Gonnelieu and
Gauche Wood and even reached Villcrs Guislain, but
next day our troops were forced out of Gonnelieu,
During these two days many attacks in this sector
and in the Bourlon sector were driven off, but on the
3rd the Germans succeeded in capturing La Vacquerie.
Owing to the Germans' success at Villers Guislain
our position at Masnieres and Bourlon now formed
a dangerous salient. Troops were not available for
another offensive on a large scale, and it was therefore
decided to contract the line by withdrawing to the
northern slopes of the Flesqui^res ridge and to make
the necessary adjustments further south. The with-
drawal was commenced on the night of 4th /5th
December and was completed by the 7th without
molestation. The net result of the fighting since
2oth November was an advance of about 2}, miles
and the capture in addition to the prisoners, guns,
material, etc., already mentioned, of 12,000 yards of
the enemy's front line, a rather shorter length of the
Hindenburg and Hindenburg support lines and the
villages of Ribecourt, Flesquieres and Havrincourt.
On the other hand we lost an unimportant section of
hne near GonneHeu with 6,000 prisoners and 100 gims.
On 30th November J. C. Buckley (R.A.M.C, Educ.)
won the M.M. for attending single-handed to the
wounded under heavy shell fire, although he himself
was at the time severely wounded. At Tadpole Copse
on 2nd December Corporal (afterwards Sergt.) C. A.
Dearing, B.Sc. (5th Lond., Educ.) earned the M.M.
86
" Under intense bombardment, he worked in the open
repairing lines and keeping communication between
the front line and battalion H.Q. Regardless of danger
he carried out this work throughout the day, and after
the battalion was relieved he remained behind for
several hours, again repairing the lines in order to
hand over communications to the relieving battalion,"
In later fighting at this part Lieut. F. N. Stone
(21st Lond., Educ.) won the M.C. on 9th December
when the enemy attacked an adjoining battalion and
he " led a counter attack to relieve the pressure.
Though he was met by a superior force of the enemy,
he drove them back with great courage and skill and
held on to the ground gained until the line was re-
established." On the same date at Graincourt Lieut,
A. D. Barnes (23rd Lond,, Educ.) won the M.C. " for
conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in an
advanced post which was repeatedly attacked by the
enemy. Time after time they obtained a footing in it
only to be driven out. He went about calmly en-
couraging the men and organising counter-attacks,
and was fighting continuously for six hours,"
These striking results were obtained at a low cost
in casualties, and on 20th November, the opening day
of the attack, only two of the Council's staff were
killed, namely, Lance-Corp. S. F. Howard (nth Rif.
Bde., Stores) to the southward of Masnieres and R. H.
Barker (R.W. Surr., Tram.). Sergt. R. A. Wood (i6th
Lond., Educ.) at Tadpole Copse, and Arthur Ireland
(15th R. Irish Rif., Parks) possibly near Bullecourt,

CHAPTER VI.
Western Front, 1918.
In the prolonged fighting which lasted for about six
months of the year 1917, the losses among the British
and Dominion troops were very heavy, and, as an
army had to be maintained for home defence, these
could not be made good. Early in 1918, in order to
meet this shortage, the number of battalions in a
division was reduced from 13 to 10, and the troops
surplus to this establishment were used to make up
the deficiencies in the remaining battalions. The
Germans had suffered as much, or perhaps more, but
Russia had now disappeared as a belligerent, and
copious reinforcements could be brought from the
eastern to the western front. The difficulties of the
situation were much increased because troops had
been sent to aid the Italians after their serious defeat
at Caporetto in 1917 (see p. 181), and because the
British Government decided to relieve the French of
the defence of a further sector of the front. This
decision was carried out during the winter of 1917-18
when the front from St. Quentin southwards to
Barisis on the Oise was taken over. The sector
measured 28 miles, bringing the total length held by
the British up to 125 miles. The French troops thus
relieved were formed into a reserve available for the
support of either army.
Early in 1918 it was obvious that the enemy would
soon be superior in numbers, and probably in muni-
tions. The United States had declared war on Ger-
many on 5th April, 1917, and it was decided, pending
the arrival of their troops to redress the balance, to
act on the defensive. Casualties became less numerous,
and in January only two of the Council's staff were
killed. Corporal A. A. Withey {2nd K.R.R., Tram.) on
the i6th and S. G. Blay (7th Buffs, Tram.) on the 19th,
91
in February none, and in March, before the opening of
the German offensive, only three, namely, John
Lamont (14th Lond., Asylums) on the 12th north of
Arras, and Lance-Corp. P. W. T. Holmes (R.A.M.C,
Educ.) and Lance-Corp. T. E. Fox (ist Cameronians,
Tram.) who both died on the 13th of wounds received
the day before near Arras and Ypres respectively.
Captain G. Clark (General List, Educ.) was awarded
the M.C. for great zeal and efficiency about this time
in a forward area subject to shell-fire.
First Battles of the Somme. 1918.
In February it became clear that the enemy pro-
posed to take the offensive. It was known that many
divisions transferred from Russia and Italy were
receiving special training, and aerial reconnaissances
showed that communications were being improved,
and ammunition and supply dumps increased. To meet
this attack existing defences had to be strengthened
and new ones to be prepared, and communications,
especially in the Somme area, had to be improved.
These works entailed much extra labour, and, as a
greater length of line was being held with fewer troops
than heretofore, the opportunities for training such
new drafts as were being received were very Hmited.
The enemy's preparations covered most of our
front and, as all this could not be defended in equal
strength, it was necessary to decide at what points
ground could be yielded with least harm. In the
north the battle lines were only fifteen miles from
Dunkirk, and forty from Calais, and the possession
of these and the other Channel ports was essential
to our safety. The middle sector defended the few
remaining collieries in northern France still held by the
Allies, and also important railway points such as
Bethune and Arras. In either of these sectors any
extensive withdrawal would clearly be most dangerous.
The southern sector in front of Cambrai and St.
Quentin had in its rear the area devastated during the
92
Somme fighting in 1916 and the German retreat in
1917, and here retreat was possible without greatly
improving the enemy's position or seriously harming
FIRST BATTLES OF THE SOMME, 1918.
our own. This sector was therefore held most
lightly. _ ^ ,
On the morning of 21st March, after a violent
bombardment lasting some hours, the long expected
93
assault opened on a front of about lifty miles from the
Oise nearly to the Scarpe. Until midday the battle-
field was obscured by a thick mist which greatly
favoured the assailants by completely covering them
from the view of our artillery and machine-gims. The
enemy outnumbered our men in the proportion of
five or more to one and, in face of such numbers, the
outpost line was soon surrounded, although the posts
themselves held out with the utmost gallantry for
many hours. In the words of the commander-in-
chief: " The prolonged defence of these different
localities, under conditions wliich left little hope of any
relief, deserves to rank among the most heroic actions
in the history of the British Army."
Several weeks of fine weather had made the marshes
between St. Quentin and La Fere easily passable by
infantry, so that the enemy in this part was able to
effect some sort of a surprise and to make good pro-
gress. This led to a withdrawal (58th and i8th Divs.)
being ordered to the Crozat Canal connecting the Oise
at La Fere with the Somme to the east of Ham. The
enemy was also successful at Ronssoy (i6th Div.)
to the south of Cambrai, and at Lagnicourt and
Bullecourt to the west (6th and 59th Divs.), and orders
were given for part of the saHent thus formed
opposite Cambrai to be vacated. Elsewhere the
attack was held up by our battle positions, the
24th Division at Le Verguier, the 21st at Epehy, and
the 17th on the Canal du Nord showing particular
gallantry.
On the 22nd the attack was renewed all along the
line in a dense mist, which as before greatly aided the
advance. The passage of the Crozat Canal was forced
at several points, but for the time the enemy was pre-
vented by a vigorous defence (58th Div.) from de-
veloping his advantage. Further north, that is to
the west and north-west of St. Quentin, he was more
successful, advancing four or five miles and causing
94
us to vacate Epehy. He also made a substantial
advance to the west of Fontaine-lez-Croisilles,
On the 23rd the troops south of Ham were ordered
to withdraw across the Somme, but it was hoped to
hold, north of that town, the position which had been
specially laid out for the defence of the Peronne bridge-
head. Later the Fifth Army decided to abandon these
lines. This decision had far-reaching results and it
was criticised by the commander-in-chief on the
ground that, taken somewhat hurriedly, it greatly
interfered with the withdrawal of troops and stores,
with the destruction of the various bridges, and
generally with putting the river line into an adequate
state of defence. Other misfortunes followed during
the day, for our men were driven away from the
Crozat Canal and the enemy crossed the Somme near
Ham forcing a passage from the north. Further
north some confusion arose at the junction of the
Third and Fifth Armies, and near Ytres a gap was
left through which the enemy pressed. On the extreme
right of the enemy's advance Monchy and Guemappe
were evacuated by our troops.
On the 24th the enemy continued to develop the
success which he had gained at the junction of the
two armies, with the result that the part of the Fifth
Army to the north of the Somme was driven back
and, in the effort to keep in touch with it, the right
of the Third Army had to retire across the battle
fields of 1916. Higher up, that is to the south-east,
the river, owing to the dry weather, was not a very
formidable obstacle, and it was crossed at many points
to the north-west of Ham. On the right of our line
we were driven out of Chauny in a fog.
On the 25th strong attacks on the line to the north
of Bapaume were driven off but, although the left
of the Fifth Army was transferred to the Third Army
who were entrusted with the command of all troops
north of the Somme, the enemy continued to force
95
his way through the gap formed on the 23rd. In spite
of all efforts this was so far from being closed that
reinforcements, moved up on the 25th from the Ancre
to Pozieres, found themselves unsupported on both
flanks and had to fall back upon the river. To the
south of the Somme where the French had now taken
over the defence, including the control of what British
troops still survived, the enemy captured Noyon and
Nesle and pushed us back from the part of the Hne
situated to the east aiid south of F.ise.
On the 26th the defence to the north of Albert
became stabilised roughly on the line held before the
Battle of the Somme in 1916 except near Arras, where
some of the gains made to the south-east of the city
in April, 1917, were maintained. Further south the
situation was less satisfactory. The troops there were
so reduced in numbers and so exhausted by the
continual marching and fighting that they were
ordered to withdraw to the line Le Quesnoy — Rosieres
— Bray, but, owing to a misunderstanding. Bray was
vacated and the retreat on the north side of the Somme
was continued westward. Another gap was formed,
this time near Roye between us and the French, and
it was only with very great difficulty that the enemy
was prevented from thrusting at once towards the
important railway junction of Montdidier. It was on
this day that General Foch was placed in supreme
control of the Allied troops in France and Belgium.
During the night of the 2 6th /27th Albert which,
although it was for two years immediately behind
the front line, had been free from the enemy since
September, 19 14, again fell into his hands. Our retreat
from Bray enabled troops on the 27th to be passed
across to the south side of the Somme in rear of the
Rosieres — Bray line. Rosieres stood fast, but the
line to the north as far as the river was withdrawn
to Hamel and to the south to Montdidier, which was
taken by the enemy from the French.
96
The next day, the 28th, was marked by a signal
success. With the object of capturing Arras, retaking
the Vimy ridge, and so of relieving Lens, the enemy
shifted his main assault from the Somme to the Scarpe,
and early in the morning launched an attack with
great forces on both sides of the river. ^ The methods
which had obtained such great results further south
were again adopted, but this time, unaided by fog
or mist, failed completely. The 4th and 56th Divisions
to the north of the river held their main positions
against five German divisions, and to the south the
3rd and 15th Divisions were equally successful against
four German divisions. The attack was continued
southwards at various points but everywhere failed,
with enormous losses to the enemy.
To return to the southern area, a force, organised
under the orders of the Fifth Army Commander,
out of details, stragglers, army troops, etc., and
placed under the command of General Carey, had
been stationed on the 26th on the line Mezieres —
Marcelcave — Hamel and, as practically the only
reserves available in this part, came into action on the
28th. The enemy continued to press back the French
on our right and this advance, combined with the
advance along the Somme, made the sahent with
Harbonnieres and Rosieres at its apex so dangerous
that it had to be vacated, and our troops were with-
drawn to a line running roughly due south from Hamel.
By this time the enemy's attack had lost much of
its weight and on the 29th Carey's Force, assisted by
cavalry, took over the defence south of the Somme
and so enabled some of the much harassed divisions
to re-organise. On the 30th Demuin was lost and on
the 31st Moreuil. For some days after this the line
was comparatively quiet, but on 4th April in the course
of an attack between the Somme and our right at
' The enemy troops were evidently prepared for an advance on
an am])itious scale, for one prisoner was found to be carrying six
days' rations, two blankets and a pair of new boots.
97
Hangard and upon the French south of that point
we lost Hamel. Strong attacks next day at Hangard
and between Dernancourt, to the south of Albert,
and Bucquoy, to the north, were completely repulsed
at practically all points. When the fighting at length
died down we were holding south of the Somme a line
which passed to the west of Hamel and east of Villers
Bretonneux and Hangard.
Frequent local attacks ensued on different sectors,
and finally the Germans on 24th April attempted to
advance upon the whole of our front south of the
Somme. After a conflict between tanks, the first of
which there is record, and fierce fighting along the
whole front, the enemy broke through at Villers
Bretonneux and gained positions commanding Amiens.
This threat on so important a point was not to be
tolerated and a brilliant counter-attack, undertaken
at short notice on the following night (the 24th /25th)
by the Austrahans aided by the i8th Division, drove
the enemy back to the east of the village almost to
the line from which he had set out in the morning.
Thus ended the second Battle of the Somme, the
most serious defeat sustained by us during the war.
In about ten days of actual fighting the enemy
advanced on a front of forty miles to a depth of
twenty to forty miles, regained large areas which had
been won by the Allies only after months of desperate
fighting in 1916 and 1917, and captured and held such
places as Albert, Bray, Rosieres and Montdidier
which had not been in his possession since the opening
of the war and then only temporarily. He claimed
to have taken, chiefly from us, 70,000 prisoners and
1,100 guns. Immense quantities of stores and material,
which in so hurried a retreat were not destroyed,
fell into his hands. Our casualties in this battle,
and immediately afterwards at the Lys (see p. 102)
amounted to 400,000,^ most of them in the Somme area.
^British Campaigns in the West, by Sir F. Maurice (p. liii), in
Findlay Muirhead's Belgium and Western Front.
98
The German casualties were about the same, for they
have admitted^ the loss of 300,000 wounded and, as
the proportion of wounded to killed throughout the
war was usually three to one, these figures imply
a loss in killed of about 100,000. It is clear that
the legend, at one time current, that the defence
collapsed is a legend and nothing more. Only the
most resolute defence could have inflicted such
enormous casualties and have foiled the plan, sup-
ported by a great superiority in numbers and muni-
tions, of capturing Amiens and of separating the
British and French armies.
To meet these losses troops and munitions were
hurried out from England, troops were recalled to
France from Italy, Salonica, Palestine and elsewhere,
and President Wilson gave orders that the partially
trained American troops in France should be
temporarily incorporated with 'English or French
brigades.
In the operations described above the M.C. was won
by four of the Council's staff:
(i) Lieut. H. T. Haddocks (M.G.C., Comp.) on
2 1st March during a withdrawal at Le Mesnil, near
Peronne, " held on unsupported by infantry, until
almost surrounded, when he withdrew in good order
doing great execution as he retired. He was the last
to cross a bridge before its destruction."
(ii) Capt L. K. Spencer (Lond., Educ.) on 28th
March " handled his company in a difficult counter-
attack with great ability, and later, when it was
necessary to clear up the situation, he personally
reconnoitred in the face of machine-gun fire and
sniping, sending back invaluable information as
to the enemy's position. He was wounded while
doing this, but insisted on carrying on until the
advance and consolidation had been effected."
' General Staff and Its Problems, by Gen. Ludendorff, translated
by F. A. Holt (vol. i. p. 139),
99
(iii) Lieut. A. P. Comyns (loth R. Welch Fus.,
Clerk) at Hamel on 30th March, " when a con-
siderable length of trench on both sides had been
evacuated, held the trench with a Lewis gun and
three men, keeping up a steady fire and inflicting
many casualties until reinforcements arrived."
(iv) Lieut. D. J. Davies (R. Welch Fus., Educ).
" By his personal example, and by the excellent
fire control which he maintained, he kept his front
intact against repeated enemy attacks. At night he
went out on patrol on three occasions, capturing a
prisoner and killing a machine-gun crew and bringing
in the gun."
Co. Sergt.-Maj. J. C. Cairns, D.C.M. (Oxf. and Bucks
L.L, Educ.) received a bar to his D.C.M., but details
are lacking. Co. Sergt.-Maj. S. C. P. Drury, D.C.M.
(R.E., Educ.) received a bar to his D.C.M. for his
gallantry at Highland Ridge. " When his company
were advancing in the open and were met by very
heavy machine-gun fire, he walked up and down in
front of the line encouraging the men and ensuring
that the line was maintained in good order. Later,
under heavy fire, he withdrew the company in good
order, and assisted a pioneer battalion to fight a rear-
guard action." Sergt. (afterwards Regt. Sergt.-Maj.)
J. Wild (R.E., Asylums) won the D.C.M. near Albert,
but no details are available.
Corp. (afterwards Sergt.) F. Hills, M.M. (Lond.,
Educ.) received a bar to his M.M. Towards the end of
March, between Bus and Bertincourt, he " carried
out patrol work under exceptionally trying conditions
and extreme closeness of contact with the enemy,
securing valuable information which enabled the
battalion to get clear when practically surrounded.
Throughout the whole of the withdrawal of March
and April he had charge of a platoon, and, by his own
coolness and courage, kept up the moral of his men at
all times."
100
The M.M. was won by the undermentioned members
of the Council's staff:
(i) Sergt. E. Strugnell (15th Lond., Solr.) for
braverv in action near Cambrai on 21st March.
(ii) Sergt. (afterwards Co. Q.M.S.) P. J. W.
Pollard (Beds, Educ.) near Jussy on 22nd March,
" volunteered to take field kitchens and supplies to
troops in the line, under enemj' observation and
shell fire."
(iii) Sergt. J. R. Austin (R.G.A.. Parks) for
bravery at Bois Hullot, on 22nd March.
(iv) Sergt. P. H. Spowage (R. Fus., Educ.) on
23rd March, for the successful manner in which
he assumed command at Eaucourt I'Abbaye after
all his officers had become casualties.
(v) F. H. W. Briggs (R.A.M.C, Asylums) on 24th
March, near Guiscard " where, after he had been on
duty continuously for 36 hours, he voluntarily
searched for some French wounded who had been
left behind, and brought them to safety."
(vi) Sec.-Corp. E. H. Knowles (R.E., Housing)
near Ytres, for rescuing a wounded man under heavy
machine-gun fire and, the nearest dressing stations
having been evacuated, carrying him a long distance
to a train.
(vii) R. A. P. Willmer (7th Manch., Educ.) for
obtaining at Ablainzeville, under heavy fire, useful
information concerning the enemy's movements.
Capt. S. A. French (7th R.W. Kent, Clerk) was
killed at Moy during the preliminary bombard-
ment on 2oth March and Capt. H. T. Rapson
(7th R.W. Kent, Educ.) wounded next day died on
the 23rd. The long list of those missing on the 21st
or succeeding days, the actual date of death being
often unknown, included Lance-Corp. P. Ford (ist
R. Dub. Fus., Tram.), Sergt. L. N. Wright (nth Leic,

Battle of the Lys.
Although an attack north of La Bassee was not
unexpected, the crisis on the Somme made it necessary
to weaken the de-
fence in this sector.
Many divisions were
sent to the south,
and others which
needed a respite
from the desperate
fighting there were
made up to strength
with drafts fresh from
England and put into
the Hne in their place.
The attack opened on
gth April on a front
of some 12 or 15
miles between the La
Bassee Canal and Armentieres which had been the
scene of so much fighting in 1915. Again aided by a
thick mist the enemy over-ran Portuguese divisions
which were being reUeved and, pressing rapidly for-
ward, reached the river Lys at and near Sailly. The
withdrawal of the Portuguese opened up the British
divisions on each side of them to attack in flank and

rear. The 55th, north of the La Bassee Canal, stood
fast, but the 40th to the south of Armentieres were
compelled to give ground. Towards evening the Ger-
mans near Estaires and Bac St. Maur forced passages
over the river, the former being driven back by the
51st and 50th Divisions who were in reserve behind
the Portuguese.
Next day the enemy captured Estaires and, although
driven out, succeeded later in regaining the town.
On this day the battle spread northwards to the
neighbourhood of Hill 60. Aided once more by mist
the Ge'rmans pushed back the 25th Division north of
Armentieres and the 19th on the east side of the
Messines ridge, but the situation at the latter point
was somewhat restored in a counter-attack by the
9th Division. Armentieres, thus threatened from the
north and from the south, was vacated during the
evening by the 34th Division.
On the nth Messines, Neuf Berquin and Merville
were captured, and with the object of reducing the
length of hne held to the north our troops, under orders,
vacated the Messines ridge and withdrew to the line
Wulverghem — Neuve EgUse. On the 12th the Ger-
mans attacked in great strength to the north-west of
the salient they had formed and seized Merris, but were
checked by the 29th Division. Renewing the attack
next day they pushed back the 29th and 31st Divisions
which had already suffered heavy losses, and, in an
effort to reach the important railway junction at
Hazebrouck, got as far as the eastern edge of Nieppe
Forest. Here they were finally held by AustraHan
troops brought up from the Somme. Neuve Eglise,
after changing hands several times, finally passed to
the enemy on the 14th, and on the 15th the enemy
developed his success by capturing Bailleul, During
these latter days a previously arranged plan for the
evacuation of the Passchendaele salient was carried
out, the operation being completed by the night of the
I04
I5th/i6th, when our line, starting from the west and
soutli of Langemarck, passed through St. Julien and
to the east of Frezenberg.
On the i6th Wytschaete was lost, but the 9th
Di\dsion held on to the outskirts of the village, and an
attack next day on the commanding feature known
as Kemmel Hill was repulsed by the 34th, 49th and
19th Divisions. On the i8th a renewal of the attack
at Givenchy and Festubert was successfully met by
the 1st Division, while to the west the 4th and 6ist
Divisions defeated other attacks with heavy losses.
Some days of comparative quiet now intervened
during which French reinforcements took over the
Kemmel sector. On the 25th the battle was renewed
between the Comines Canal and the north of Bailleul,
with the result that the 21st and 9th Divisions were
forced back along the Canal and at Wytschaete,
and the French lost Kemmel village and hill. Next
day French and British troops recaptured Kemmel
village, but being unsupported on the flanks had to
withdraw. The loss of Kemmel Hill seriously threatened
our positions in the Ypres salient where the communi-
cations and defences were under direct observation,
and as a precaution, on the night of the 26th/27th,
our troops were withdrawn to a point south of La
Clytte, the line passing thence to the west of Zille-
beke and through Wieltje and Pilckem. Thus on the
east round to the south and south-west the enemy
approached Ypres nearer than at any time since the
fighting line became stabilised in the autumn of 1914.
On the 29th very fierce attacks delivered between
Locre and Voormezeele by almost overwhelming
numbers of troops were completely defeated by the
2ist, 49th and 25th Divisions.
The casualties on both sides have already been dealt
with under the Battles of the Somme, 1918 (see p. 97).
In this, our second serious defeat on the western front,
the Germans advanced a maximum of ten miles on a
105
front of twenty. By the capture of Kemmel and the re-
capture of the Messines ridge they caused us to vacate
most of the ground won in more than three months'
bitter fighting during the summer and autumn of
1917. Their advance brought them close to Bethune,
Hazebrouck and Poperinghe, and enabled them to
harass with gun-fire at moderate range those important
points in our communications by road and rail.
The fate of Merville, Merris, Bailleul and many
other little towns and villages was a pathetic feature
of the fighting. As the line in this part had hardly
varied, their only association with the war had been
to pro\ade peaceful quarters for advanced depots,
hospitals, rest billets and the like. The inhabitants
might therefore hope that such good fortune would
continue to the end, and that their homes, although
sometimes threatened, would escape destruction. Such
hopes were rudely shattered for, after a respite of
nearly four years, these places suddenly found them-
selves in the thick of the struggle, and in a few days
were as utterly wrecked as though they had been for
years in the forward battle area.
Capt. (afterwards Lt.-Col.) W. Parkes, M.C. (8th
Glouc, Educ.) in fighting near Messines gained a bar
to the M.C. " When the enemy penetrated the line
... he led forward the battalion and such other
details as he was able to rally and restored the situation.
His initiative and coolness saved a general withdrawal."
Lieut. F. Morgan (R.G.A., Educ.) for gallantry at
Kemmel and Mont Noir was awarded the M.C. " As
senior subaltern of his battery he did splendid work
on many occasions and commanded the battery very
efficiently for some time." Capt. R. E. Licence (2nd
Durh. L.L, Educ), as adjutant of his battalion,
rendered most valuable assistance throughout the
operations, and received the Croix de Guerre. S.
Seaman (R.F.A., Asylums) was awarded the M.M. for
his gallantry at Kemmel Hill on 25tli April.

(R.F.A., Tram.), wounded and taken prisoner at Kem-
mel Hill, died on an unknown date some months later.
Battle of the Aisne, 1918.
An attack was quite possible on practically any
part of the British front, and this prevented troops
from being completely withdrawn from the fighting
area. On the French front, however, there were thought
to be several quiet sectors and to one of these, to the
north-west of Rheims, were transferred a few divisions
with the hope that they would have a period of com-
parative rest in which, after their heavy losses on the
Somme and the Lys, to refit and to re-organise. This
hope was not realised for on 27th May, after only a
few weeks, the Germans opened an attack on a front
of some forty miles between Rheims and the north-
west of Soissons.^ The 21st Division near Loivre, the

8th at Berry- aii-Bac on the Aisne, and the 50th near
Ville-aux-Bois, the 25th being in general reserve,
were driven back across the Aisne, the Vesle and the
Ardre with enormous losses, the 8th for instance
losing 7,000 infantry out of 9,000. At the same time
the French on our left were driven from the Chemin
des Dames where the British had been held up in
September, 1914 (see p. 9), but which had been
captured by the French in the spring of 19 17. After
a week's fighting the Germans had taken 45,000
prisoners and 400 guns and had advanced some thirty
miles to Villers-Cotterets and to Chateau-Thierry on
the Marne. There the defence by the French and the
Americans, aided by the 19th Division, prevented
any further success.
During the fighting on the 27th Lieut. R. T. Boyes
(R. Suss., Educ.) " re-organised men of his company
and stragglers, dug a line, and held off enemy attacks
throughout the night and again in the morning. He
himself brought down with rifle fire a low-flying
enemy aeroplane. ..." He was awarded the M.C.
Those killed included Mark Farrow (2nd Devons,
Asylums) near Berry-au-Bac on 26th May and Sergt.
R. W. Stevens (2nd Northants, Tram.) at Berry-au-
Bac, Wilham Pollock (4th S. Staffs, Educ.) and

Battle of the Marne, 1918.
To make clear what follows it will be well at this
point to survey the general position and to glance at
events on the French front. In two months the enemy
had made three great and successful attacks; one,
chiefly against the British in the valley of the Somme,
had brought him nearly to Amiens., a second, also
against the British in the valley of the Lys, had
110
brought him nearly to Hazebrouck, and a third,
chiefly against the French in the valleys of the Aisne
and the Marne, had brought him to within forty
miles of Paris. Although each assault, successful at
first, had been foiled, he continued his efforts to make
that breach in the Allied lines which would lead to
complete victory. Early in June the French, attacked
between Montdidier and Noyon, were pressed back,
but only for a few miles, and finally on 15th July the
last great assault by the enemy was opened. Rheims,
which being at the apex of a sharp salient could be
attacked on two sides, was the main objective, but
the whole offensive covered a front of more than
fifty miles. To the west and south-west of the city
there were some slight gains, but to the east the
assault, owing to the skilful tactics of General Gouraud,
was completely shattered.
On 1 8th July General Foch, judging that the
Germans had now committed the bulk of their re-
maining reserves to this last attack, launched his
counter-offensive, directing it at first against the
western half of the great salient formed in the German
line by their success in the recent Battle of the Aisne.
French and American troops, secretly assembled in
the woods near Villers - Cotterets, were successful
between Chateau-Thierry and Soissons.^ The British
15th Division, having relieved the Americans near
Dommiers to the south-west of Soissons, captured
Buzancy after a fluctuating struggle, and on their
right the 34th Division took Beugneux. Meanwhile
on the east side of the salient the 51st and 62nd
Divisions advanced along the valley of the Ardre.
In about ten days of this fighting the Germans were
driven back to the Aisne with the loss of 20,000
prisoners and 400 guns. Once again the Marne proved
to be the point at which an advance seriously threat-
ening Paris had been arrested and thrown back, but
* For plan see p. 108.
XIX
whereas in 1914 the French, who on both occasions
bore the brunt of the attack, were aided only by a
few British divisions, in 1918 they were aided also by
Americans and Italians.
In the fighting on the east of the salient Sergt. P.
Clark (R.A.S.C, Tram.) was awarded the Croix de
Guerre. He " organised ... a service of cars between
loading posts and aid posts, going and coming con-
tinuously by bombarded roads, establishing control
posts and'regulating the circulation of cars." W. T. F.
Stiff {62nd M.G.C., P. Health) won the M.M. " Despite
almost insuperable difficulties, he maintained com-
munication between brigade, battalions and his own
company. He repeatedly repaired wires under heavy
shell fire."
Only two of the Council's staff lost their lives
during these operations, H. W. Drewett (2 /4th
Hamps., Tram.) who was killed on 20th July near
Jonchery to the west of Rheims, and Lieut. C. F.
Wilson (2/4th Hamps., Educ.) who was wounded on
the 23rd near Marfaux and died on the 27th at Epernay.
Minor Operations on British Front.
Advantage was taken of the lull in the fighting on
the main British front to re-organise the defences,
and, as a preliminary, eight divisions, the 14th, i6th,
31st, 34th, 39th, 40th, 59th, and 66th, which, having
suffered the most, had been reduced to cadres were
temporarily written off as fighting units. To relieve
the situation at Amiens, Bethune, Hazebrouck and
even at St. Pol, twenty miles to the west of Arras,
where much-used railway junctions were under shell
fire, three routes for north and south traffic were
provided, this making it necessary to lay some 500
miles of broad gauge track. New lines of defence in
rear consisting of about 5000 miles of trench had also
to be constructed by the weary troops.
As, however, the nunibers of our men increased
and their confidence and training improved, various
JI3
minor operations were undertaken. These included
the capture of Ville-sur-Ancre on 19th May, and an
advance near Morlancourt, to the south of Albert,
on loth June, both by the Australians. An advance

by the French near Locre Hospice on 20th May was
followed early in July by the capture of the Hospice,
and on the 14th of the month by the final capture of
Ridge Wood in the same neighbourhood by the 6th
Division. On 3rd June the Australians and the 29th
Division captured Mont de Merris, west of Merris
village. On 28th June the 5th and 31st Divisions
"3
made a successful surprise attack to the east of the
Forest of Nieppe, capturing the enemy's defences on
a front of 6,000 yards and taking 450 prisoners. The
plateau of Villers-Bretonneux was cleared by the
Australians, and Hamel and Vaire Wood were re-
captured with 1,500 prisoners on 4th July. A week
later some slight advances were made near Merris,
on the 19th the 9th Division recaptured Meteren, and
on the night of the aSth/agth Merris was recaptured
by the Australians.
The Battle of Amiens.
The failure of the enemy's attack on Rheims on
15th July and the success, three days later, of the
counter-offensive at the Mame and the Aisne trans-
ferred the initiative to the Alhes. In order to maintain
this advantage it was arranged that the French,
American and British armies should undertake separate
local offensives, the task assigned to the British being
an advance to the east and south-east of Amiens
so as to free the railway communications through
the city from enemy pressure. It was desirable that
the attack should be a surprise, and elaborate pre-
cautions were therefore taken to lead the enemy
to suppose that any effort contemplated would be
at the other, that is the northern, end of our line.
With this object, headquarters and casualty clearing
stations were built in conspicuous positions in Flanders,
and training and general activity behind that part
of the line were simulated. Meanwhile preparations
were made rapidly and secretly for the advance at
Amiens, and on 8th August the attack opened at
dawn in a thick mist. The Canadians were on the
right immediately north of the Amiens — Roye road,
the Australians in the centre at Villers-Bretonneux
and to the south of the Somme, and the 58th, i8th
and 12th Divisions on the left to the north of the
river. Within a very short time these troops, aided
by 400 tanks, had pushed forward two miles to the
114
line Demuin — Marcelcave — Cerisy, where the Cavalry
Corps joined in the advance. By nightfall the infantry
were six or seven miles from their starting point, the
only check being at Chipilly which was not stormed
until the next day, 13,000 prisoners had been captured
with nearly 400 guns and stores of ammunition, etc.^
On the 9th the enemy's resistance stiffened, but
this was overcome and by the 12th, when the battle
was broken off, we had reached the line Damery —
Lihons — Proyart — Bray. This represented an advance
of some twelve miles v^ith the capture of a total of
22,000 prisoners and over 400 guns. The Amiens —
Paris railway was freed from enemy fire and, by
seizing ]\Iontdidier and by bringing Chaulnes under
shell-fire, the Allies greatly hampered the enemy's
arrangements for the movement of troops and
munitions.
In the fighting on 8th August Sergt. E. C, Dare
(Lond., Educ.) won the D.C.M. for capturing, with
the help of about thirty men, mostly stragglers from
different regiments, a German strong point with
twenty machine-guns and nearly 300 prisoners, and
Corp. R. B. Williams (Lond., Educ.) won the M.M.
for his bravery near Chipilly. Batty. Q.M.S. E. W.
Martin (R.F.A., Educ.) also won the M.M. about this
time,
Lieut. P. C. Cleall B.A. (loth Essex, Educ),
wounded and taken prisoner on the 8th, died of his
wounds on 26th August.
Second Battles of the Somme, 1918.
The attack was now shifted northwards to the line
between Albert and Arras where the ground was
suitable for tanks and where an advance to the south-
1 General Ludendorff described 8th August as " the black day
of the German Army in the history of this war." To it he attributed
the defection of Bulgaria and the general discouragement of Ger-
many's allies and on 14th August he advised his government to
seek for avenues of peace. {My War Memories, 1914-18, vol. ii.
p. 679).

east, in conjunction with the recent success at Villers-
Bretonneux, might produce far-reaching results. As
a preliminary, on 21st August the line from Beau-
court and Miraumont, in the valley of the Ancre,
northwards to Moyennevillc, was successfully attacked
by the 21st, 42nd, New Zealand, 37th, 2nd and Guards
Divisions. The 5th, 63rd and 3rd Divisions, passing
through them, continued the advance, and by the end
of the day the Arras railway had been reached, and
in some places crossed, between Miraumont and
Achiet. As the result of an attack, early next morning,
by the Australians and the 32nd, 47th, 12th, i8th and
38th Divisions with a few tanks on the sector between
the Somme and the Ancre, Albert was captured by
the 1 8th Division, and our front was advanced to the
east of the Bray — Albert road. The fighting on these
two days yielded 4,400 prisoners and a few guns.
The way was thus cleared for a general attack
between Chaulnes and Arras, which opened on 23rd
August on a front of 33 miles. The divisions in action
on the 2 1st and 22nd continued their advance in a
general easterly direction, while on the left the attack
was taken up by the 56th and 52nd Divisions. The
assault was everjrvvhere successful, particularly to the
east and north-east of Achiet, and the enemy began
to show signs of confusion. Soon after midnight on
the 23rd/ 24th the advance was resumed, the Aus-
tralians capturing Bray, the 12th and i8th Divisions
positions to the north, the 38th Thiepval which held
out for three months during the Somme fighting
in 1916, the 42nd Miraumont and Pys, the 5th Irles,
the Guards St, Leger, the 56th positions near Croisilles
and the 52nd Henin. These successes were followed
up, and on the 27th the i8th Division captured Trones
Wood, on the 28th the 12th and 58th Divisions cap-
tured Hardecourt, and the 38th and 17th advanced
near Delville Wood towards Flers. On the 29th
Bapaume fell to the New Zealanders, and the 56th
ii6
and 57th Divisions reached Bullecourt and Hende-
court. The enemy's resistance was now increasing,
but, notwithstanding this, the AustraUans, in the night
of 30th/3ist August, stormed Mont St. Quentin to
the north-west of Peronne, beat off numerous counter-
attacks and on 1st September occupied the town.
After this achievement the advance halted for a
time. Sir Douglas Haig summarised the operations
in the following words: "Twenty-three British
divisions . . . had driven 35 German divisions from
one side of the old Somme battlefield to the other.
. . . They had inflicted upon the enemy the heaviest
losses in killed and wounded, and had taken . . .
over 34,000 prisoners and 270 guns." Part of the
retirement was to some extent voluntary, but the
victories of 8th and 21st August had disorganised
the enemy's defences and greatly accelerated his
retreat. ,
The M.C. was gained by five of the Council's staff as
follows :
(i) Lieut. A. H. Collins (32nd M.G.C., Educ.) at
Herleville, south of the Somme, on the 23rd " went
forward with the first wave, selecting positions
for his guns. . . . As a result of his forward observa-
tion under heavy fire, he was able to place his guns
so that effective neutralising fire was brought to
bear on the enemy."
(ii) Lieut. C. L. Henstridge (4th Lond., Educ.)
on the 23rd at Boyelles, almost due south of Arras,
" seeing that the leading company was held up,
pushed his platoon round the enemy's flank and
enfiladed part of the trench."
(iii) Capt. A. W. K. Burnett (R.F.A., Educ).
Near Bihucourt on the 25th, while his " battery
was firing a barrage, the enemy commenced a heavy
bombardment. He sent all spare men away to
cover and remained moving about the battery
encouraging the men."
117
(1\) Lieut. E. C. Yalden (7th Middx., Educ.) at
Bullecourt " during heavy fighting which lasted
several days, displayed marked powers of leader-
ship. . . . When his company was almost sur-
rounded, he held on to his position with great
resolution, repelling several attacks."
(v) Capt. G. Ames (R.H.A., Educ.) in connection
with operations, details of which are not known,
leading to the fall of Bapaume.
Co. Sergt.-Maj. T. Archdeacon (7th Lond., Educ.)
won the D.C.M. on the 26th when, near Maricourt to
the east of Albert, " with an officer and eighteen men,
he secured a commanding position about 1,000 yards
in front of the main line. The party was subjected
to heavy enfilade machine-gun fire, the officer and
twelve men becoming casualties. He immediately
took command ... and beat off an enemy counter-
attack. He subsequently held on for eight hours."
The M.M. was won by C. W. Shrimpton (R.F.A.,
Estates and Vain.) at Morlancourt, near the Somme,
for his gallantry in taking up ammunition under
heavy fire, and by G. J. Willcocks (R.A.M.C, Educ.)
for his devotion to duty near Clery-sur-Somme on ist
September.
The casualties included Sergt. A. G. Beavis (Yorks
L.I., Tram.) killed on 19th August near Herleville,
A. V. Veasey (R.G.A., Tram.) near Albert on the
2ist, Lieut. J. C. Stevenson (6th R.W. Surr., Educ.)
near Morlancourt, and Lieut. P. T. Sutton, B.A.,
B.Sc. (R.G.A., Educ.) to the south of that place, both
on the 24th, W. H. D. Cole (ist Norf., Tram.) near
Achiet on the 25th, Lieut. S. N. Brown (8th R. Berks,
Educ.) at Longueval on the 27th, and Capt. E. C.
Dupres (9th R. Fus., Educ.) near Hardecourt and
Co. Sergt.-Maj. F. G. Weston (i6th Lond., Educ.)
near Hendecourt, both on the 28th. Bombdr. G. A.
Percival (R.F.A., Tram.) was killed near Clery-sur-
Somme and L. A. Reardon, B.Sc. (15th Lond., Educ.)
ii8
near Peronne, both on ist September, and Corp. E. W.
C. Hayes (20th Lond., Tram.) near the latter place
on the 2nd.
Second Battles of Arras, 1918.
The enemy's position in front of Arras had now
been turned into a salient, and an attack against it
was opened on 26th August. The Canadians, who
had been brought up from near Chaulnes, stormed
Wancourt, Guemappe and Monchy-le-Preux, and the
51st Division was equally successful, recapturing
most of the area, on the north of the Scarpe, lost
during the German advance five months earlier. By
the end of the month our troops were in touch with
the southern part of the elaborate system of trenches
kno\\Ti as the Queant — Drocourt Switch, between the
Hindenburg Line at Queant, to the south-east of
• Arras, and Drocourt, to the south-east of Lens. On
2nd September the 52nd and 57th Divisions and the
Canadians with tanks, cavalry and motor machine-
guns broke through this sector, and the 4th and 63rd
Divisions following up exploited the victory. Alto-
gether in about eight days ten British divisions
defeated thirteen German divisions and captured
some 16,000 prisoners and 200 guns.
Battles of Havrincourt and Epehy.
As a result of his defeats at Amiens, Bapaume and
the Scarpe the enemy now found himself so danger-
ously situated that an immediate retirement became
necessary. The first withdrawal, on the night of
2nd /3rd September, was to a line from Peronne along
the Canal du Nord to Ytres and thence northwards
to the river Sensee, but within a few days the retreat
had been continued to the line Vermand — Epehy —
Havrincourt — Ecourt St. Ouentin. Much of this
defensive position consisted of the Hindenburg Line
to which the enemy had retired in the spring of 1917
(see p. 56) and portions of which had been captured
in the Battles of Arras and Cambrai (see pp. 61 and 85).
IIQ
The neighbourhood of Epehy and Havrincourt had
been strongly fortified as a sort of outpost Hne, and
this had to be dealt with before the main position
could be attacked. The assault upon the sector at
Havrincourt opened on 12th September, when the
37th Division, with the New Zealanders on its right,
stormed Trescault, and the 62nd,^ with the 2nd on
its left, stormed Havrincourt. The Epehy sector
was attacked on the i8th when, to render the defence
more difficult, the assault extended over a front of
twenty-seven miles from near St. Ouentin to Gouzeau-
court. The Australians and 74th Division were success-
ful on the right, the i8th at Ronssoy and Lempire,
.the 12th, after a temporary check, at Epehy, and the
58th to the north of that village. In these two battles
fifteen British divisions defeated twenty German
divisions, capturing nearly 12,000 prisoners and 100
guns.
In the attack on Gouzeaucourt on the i8th Lieut.
John Evans (R. Welch Fus., Educ.) reached his
objective with twenty men but, as the troops on
each side failed to get up into line, he was cut off
from his supports. During the night he collected some
fifty men, beat off six counter-attacks and captured
a machine gun. His force held out until, after thirty
hours' fighting, their ammunition was exhausted,
when the enemy rushed the position, killing or cap-
turing all the survivors. Lieut. Evans was amongst
those taken prisoner, but he died of his wounds on
the 22nd. For his gallantry he was awarded the M.C.
Battles of Camhrai and the Hindenhurg Line.
It had now been decided that, as part of a general
scheme for dislocating the enemy's communications
by rail, the British should attack on the St. Quentin
— Cambrai front in the general direction of Maubeuge,
an important point in those communications. The
' Curiously enough the same division captured the same position
ten months earher at the Battle of Cambrai (see p. 83).
T20
main position guarding this point was the Hindenburg
Line, known to the Germans as the Siegfried Line,
with subsidiary systems such as the Brunnhilde,
Wotan, Hunding, etc., Lines, named after various
individuals in German mythology. The whole was
a powerful series of field works, dug in 1916-18 by
the forced labour of civilians and prisoners of war,
with many concrete shelters and emplacements, and
protected by broad belts of wire. It extended from
the Chemin des Dames, past La Fere, St. Quentin and
Cambrai to near Arras with a depth varying from
7,000 to 10,000 yards. Included in the defences were
parts of the Canal du Nord and the Canal de I'Escaut.
The former connects the Somme at Peronne with
the Sensee midway between Cambrai and Douai, and
the latter connects the Somme near St. Quentin with
the Escaut (or Scheldt) to the north of Valenciennes. ^
When bridges had been destroyed, the long stretches
of water were a formidable obstacle to all arms, but
especially to tanks, and the difficulties of crossing
were greatly increased by the fact that considerable
lengths were in cuttings as much as sixty feet deep,
the steep sides of which, faced with brick or masonry,
gave little or no foothold.
The less difficult sector, about thirteen miles long,
containing part of the Canal du Nord, was dealt with
first, the battle opening on 27th September. The 5th,
42nd, 3rd and 62nd Divisions on the right were already
across the canal, and their advance on a front between
Gouzeaucourt and Flesquieres was comparatively
easy. To the north of Flesquieres the 2nd Division,
the Guards, the 52nd, 63rd and 57th Divisions and
the Canadians had to force passages on a narrow
front and, having done so, most of them, instead of
continuing on their original line, had to debouch to
the south-east or north-east in order to gain room.
The part of this canal immediately to the north of St. Quentin
is also known as the St. Quentin Canal.
121
The enemy's defence being thus thrown into confusion;
the nth and 56th Divisions crossed near Marquion and
Sauchy without great difficulty. In spite of strong
resistance the troops throughout the sector pressed
on all that day and the next, the average gain being
rather less than five miles in depth.
On the 29th the attack was transferred to the sector
north of St. Quentin which contained part of the
Canal de L'Escaut. This was the scene of one of
the most striking exploits of the whole war, described
by the commander-in-chief in the following words:
" Equipped mth life-belts, and carrying mats and
rafts, the 46th Division stormed the western arm of
the canal at Bellenglise and to the north of it, some
crossing the canal on footbridges wliich the enemy
was given no time to destroy, others dropping down
the sheer sides of the canal wall, and, having swum
or waded to the far side, climbing up the farther wall
to the German trench lines. ... So gallantly, rapidly
and well was the attack executed . . . that this one
di\'ision took on this day over 4,000 prisoners and
70 guns." On this and subsequent days the attack
was also successful at other points, namely the 6th
and 1st Divisions to the north of St. Quentin, the
Americans and Australians at Bellicourt and the i8th
and 12th Divisions at Vendhuille.
In these two battles thirty-one British and two
American divisions defeated thirty-nine German
divisions and captured 36,000 prisoners and 380
guns. Of more importance than the material gains
was the loss of moral among the enemy troops and
civilian population owing to the fact that the last and
strongest of his prepared positions had been shattered
and that the threat to his communications was now
instant and direct.
For gallantry shown when, as just narrated, the 46th
Division stormed the enemy's lines at Bellenglise,
Capt. W. L. Bass (4th Leic, Educ.) was awarded the
SKETCH MAP OF BRITISH ADVANCE, IQlS.
123
M.C. vSergt. H. Tester (R.F.A., Parks) received the
M.M. for exceptional bravery in action at different
times during September.
During preliminary fighting to the north of St.
Quentin H. P. Obendorf (K.R.R., Educ.) was awarded
the M.M. for conspicuous bravery in action on 20th
September, and on the 26th Sergt. W. T. G. Jacobs
(Lab. Corps, P. Cont.) won the M.S.M. when, although
the immediate vicinity of the ammunition dump at
which he was working was subjected to heavy bursts
of shell fire, he encouraged his men to continue their
work of unloading ammunition from a train and
reloading into lorries, a very urgent task.
The only serious casualties amongst the Council's
staff in these battles were Thomas Bayliss (ist
Gren. Gds., Housing) killed near Flesquieres on 27th
September, Sergt. A. S. Devis, M.M. (Tank Corps,
Tram.) on the 29th, H. J. Batchelor (6th York and
Lane, Educ.) to the north-west of Cambrai and
Lieut. A. Tinniswood (R.E., Arch.) near Cantaing on
1st October, and H. O. Tichener (R.F.A., Asylums)
near Cambrai on the 3rd. G. A. Bull (R.F.A., Tram.),
wounded near Cambrai on 3rd October, died in England
on 15th November.
Fighting in Flanders.
The effect of this succession of victories was felt
further north. During August the enemy gradually
vacated the Lys salient (see map on p. 102), and on
the 19th we occupied Merville, and on the 30th Bailleul.
Later the movement became more hurried, and,
although the 36th and 29th Divisions were stoutly
opposed near Neuve Eglise, by 6th September Kemmel
Hill had been recaptured and we were back on the line
Givenchy — Neuve Chapelle— Ploegsteert.
On 28th September, in an attack by British, French
and Belgian troops under the general command of H.M.
the King of the Belgians, the 14th, 35th, 29th and 9th
Divisions, aided by the 41st and 36th Divisions, were
124
completely successful to the south of the Ypres —
Zonnebeke road, sweeping the enemy back in one day
far beyond the limits of the fighting in 1917. At the
same time the 31st, 30th and 34th Divisions captured
Wytschaete and reached the outskirts of Messines. In
all 5,000 prisoners and 100 guns were taken. Next day
the advance was continued, and on 2nd October the
enemy fell back along the front between Lens and
Armentieres. The restoration of roads across the shell-
torn salient at Ypres occupied a fortnight, and on 14th
October the advance was resumed. The 30th, 34th,
41st and 35th Divisions reached the high ground over-
looking Wervicq and Menin, and the 36th, 29th and
9th Divisions on their left were equally successful.
Ostend fell on the 17th to the Belgians, who during
the next few days drove the Germans from the rest of
the coast as far as the Dutch frontier. On the 17th the
8th Division entered Douai, and on the i8th the 57th
and 59th Divisions entered Lille, the 40th Roubaix,
and the 31st Tourcoing.
Lieut. T. J. Malone (ist R. Innisk. Fus., Educ.)
earned the M.C. at Dadizeele on ist and 2nd October,
by his conspicuous gallantry and coolness under fire
and by his devotion to duty under most trying condi-
tions. Lieut. A. A. Angel (36th M.G.C., Educ.) won
the same decoration at the same time and place. " He
was attached to the infantry with four guns and when
the enemy put down a heavy barrage ... he had one
put out of action and the team of another disorganised.
. . . Paying no attention to the bombardment he set
matters right."
W. E. Price (ist Rif. Bde., Tram.) was killed on 20th
August near Merville, Corp. J. S. Hall (2/i7th Lond.,
Tram.) on 28th September near Wytschaete Ridge,
Lance-Corp. E. H. Heard, B.A. (12th E. Surr., Educ.)
near Gheluwe on 2nd October, Corp. J. Heskett (2nd
R. Fus., Comp.) near Courtrai and Sergt. H. H. Perry,
B.A. (2/23rd Lond., Educ.) near Wervicq on the 14th,
125
and Corp. H. C. Johnson (4th N. Lanes, Comp.) near
Toumai on the 22nd.
Battles of Le Cateau, the Selle and the Sambre.
In the south the enemy had now been driven out of
the last of his elaborate defences so that the remainder
of the fighting was in open country and progress
became more rapid. On 8th October the attack was re-
sumed on the St. Quentin — Cambrai line, the successful
divisions reckoning from the right being the 66th, 25th,
38th, New Zealand, 3rd, 2nd and 63rd. Next day the
57th Division and the Canadians occupied Cambrai,
and our troops almost reached Le Cateau. In this fight-
ing twenty-two British and two American divisions
routed twenty-four German divisions and captured
12,000 prisoners and 250 guns.
The next task was the forcing of the line of the river
Selle. This, after hard fighting, was accomplished to
the east of Le Cateau on 19th October by the 46th, ist,
6th, Americans, 50th and 66th Divisions, and to the
north of the town on the 20th by the 38th, 17th, 5th,
42nd, 62nd, Guards, 19th and 4th Divisions. Further
extensive fighting ensued on the 23rd and succeeding
days, and by the end of the month our troops had
reached the Foret de Mormal and were in the western
outskirts of Valenciennes. In this battle twenty-four
British and two American divisions defeated thirty-
one German divisions and captured 20,000 prisoners
and 475 guns.
As a preliminary to the Battle of the Sambre the
6 1st, 49th and 9th Divisions successfully attacked on
1st November to the south of Valenciennes, the town
itself falling to the Canadians. The main assault
opened on the 4th when the ist, 46th and 32nd
Divisions crossed the Sambre, the 25th, 50th, i8th,
38th, 17th and 37th penetrated the Foret de Mormal,
the New Zealanders took Le Quesnoy, scaling the
ramparts in mediaeval fashion by means of ladders, and
the 62nd, Guards, 24th, 19th, nth and 56th were
126
successful to the north of the town. The average
advance on this and the next day was about seven
miles, and 19,000 prisoners and 450 guns were taken.
The enemy's resistance was now broken and he
began to fall back in disorder, closely pursued by our
men and harried by aeroplanes with bombs and
machine-gun fire. Bavai was occupied on the 7th,
Avesnes, the German advanced G.H.Q., on the 8th,
and Tournai and the fortress of Maubeuge on the 9th.
In the early morning of the nth the Canadians
captured Mons so that for the British the fighting on
the western front began and ended at the same spot.
Lt.-Col. W. Parkes, M.C. and bar (8th Glouc, Educ.)
was awarded the D.S.O. for gallantry and good leader-
ship. " His battahon was twice ordered to carry out
an attack [near Haussy] on the 20th and 23rd October
respectively. He personally led the leading platoons
across the Selle River under machine-gun and rifle fire.
Throughout he showed great courage and ability to
command."
The M.C. was won by the undermentioned:
(i) Lieut. T. A. Edwards (R.N. Div., Educ.) at
Niergnies, south-east of Cambrai, on 8th October.
(ii) Lieut. H. R. Oswald (13th Welch, Educ).
" He was indefatigable on the night of i9th/20th
October in carrying out reconnaissances across the
river Selle in face of the enemy. . . . During the
attack he rushed an enemy machine-gun."
(iii) Capt. W. J. Campion (Beds, Educ.) north of
Le Cateau on 23rd October when "by his cool
courage and fearless leadership he held his company
together under a very heavy fire. Later ... he
broke down the enemy resistance and successfully
led the hue ... to the final objective, capturing
eighty prisoners."
(iv) Lieut. E. T. G. Hancock (R.G.A., Educ.) for
conspicuous gallantry early in November between
Lille and Tournai.
127
Corp. E. E. Huntley (Grcn. Gds., Pub. H.) was
awarded the M.M. for bravery in action near ]\Iaubeuge.
Lieut. F. Nevey, M.A. (9th W. Rid., Educ.) and J. F.
Auker (9th W. Rid., Tram.) were killed in front of
Le Cateau on 12th October, B. W. Muscutt (4th York
and Lane, Tram.) south-west of Valenciennes on the
13th, Sergt. S. J. Boucher (ist Dev., Educ.) near Le
Cateau on the 20th, Corp. H. V. Harvey, M.M. (R.F.A.,
Tram.) and E. C. Yeldham (5th W. Yorks, Tram.)
near Valenciennes on ist November, Capt. E. L. Blunt
(R.G.A,, Educ.) east of Le Cateau, and Lieut. A. J.
Gaskell (Norf. Yeo., Educ.) in Belgium on the 2nd,
F. E. Elhott (ist Midx., Tram.) near Valenciennes on
the 6th, and F. Watkins (20th Huss., Asylums) near
Avesnes on the 7th. Lance-Corp. E. C. Pike (loth R.
Warw., Tram.), wounded on the 7th near Mons, died
on the 9th. 1
The Armistice.
After the Battle of Amiens in August, General Luden-
dorff urged the necessity for an immediate peace. The
German Government accordingly decided that, follow-
ing their army's next victory, negotiations for peace
would be opened, but such a victory was not forth-
coming. Bulgaria surrendered at the end of September,
and on 4th October the German Chancellor, Prince Max
of Baden, appealed to President Wilson for an armis-
tice. While notes and replies were passing between
them Turkey collapsed, and on the 20th Germany
accepted the terms upon which the President was
willing to submit the correspondence to the Allies. On
4th November Austria surrendered, on the 5th the
President notified Germany that the Allies were willing
* Throughout the war the British fighting on the western front
was mainly in the ancient provinces of Flanders, Artois and
Picardy. Chaucer, five hundred years ago, in the Prologue to the
Canterbury Tales, wrote:
" With him ther was his sone, a yong Squyer
« « * « «
And he had been somtyine in chivachye
In Flaundres, in Artoys, and Picardye."
128
to make peace, and on the 7th the German delegates,
travelhng by direction of Marshal Foch along the
Foiirmies — La Capelle — Guise road (see map on p.
122), reached the French lines. They were accommo-
dated for the night near Compiegne, and next morning
presented themselves at Marshal Foch's headquarters
in a train near Rethondes four miles east of the town,
General Weygand, his Chief of Staff, Sir Rosslyn
Wemyss, the First Sea Lord, and Vice-Admiral Sims
of the American Navy being also present.
Mr. Buchan ^ has given a vivid account of the
inter\dew. " The French Marshal asked, ' Qu'est-ce
que vous desirez. Messieurs? ' and they replied that
they had come to receive the Allied proposals for an
armistice. To this Foch answered that the Allies
were not seeking any armistice, but were content to
finish the war in the field. The Germans looked
nonplussed, and stammered something about the
urgent need for the cessation of hostilities. ' Ah,'
said Foch, ' I understand — you have come to heg for
an armistice.' They admitted the correction, and
explicitly begged for an armistice." They were then
presented with the Allied terms which had to be
accepted within seventy-two hours.
The chief terms were (i) all occupied territories to
be evacuated and all deported inhabitants to be
repatriated at once; (ii) 2,500 heavy and 2,500 field
guns, 25,000 machine guns and 17,000 aeroplanes to
be surrendered; (iii) all German territory on the left
bank of the Rhine and all territory on the right bank
within a radius of 30 kilometres (about 19 miles) from
the three bridge-heads at Cologne, Coblenz and Mainz
to be evacuated; (iv) 5,000 locomotives, 150,000
wagons and 5,000 motor lorries to be surrendered;
(v) all submarines and the bulk of the surface fleet to
be surrendered; (vi) all Allied prisoners to be re-
patriated; (vii) the treaties of Brest-Litovsk with
* Nelson's History of the War, vol. xxiv., p. 78.
129
Russia and Biikharest with Roumania to be renounced
and (viii) Allied merchant shipping to be restored.
A courier with the text was despatched to the
German headquarters, which he reached only after
much difficulty and delay. The terms were accepted
and were signed at 5 o'clock on the morning of Monday,
nth November, by the German delegates, by Marshal
Foch and by Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, and at the eleventh
hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the
year 1918 the Great War, which had lasted for four
years and ninety-nine days, came to an end.
After a few days' delay in which to rest the troops
and to bring up supplies, the advance was resumed on
17th November, the frontier was crossed on ist Decem-
ber and on 6th December our troops entered Cologne.
To the Belgians on our left was entrusted the defence
of the district to the north of Dusseldorf, to the
Americans on our right the bridge-head at Coblenz,
and to the French on their right the bridge-head at
Mainz.

died in France during December, but neither the place
nor the cause nor the exact date of his death is known.
CHAPTER VII.
Royal Navy.
The fate of the countries engaged in the Great War
was determined on the western front, and the fighting
there has merited the most attention, but in no other
conflict was it so true that, in the words of the Articles
of War: " It is upon the Navy that, under the good
Providence of God, the wealth, prosperity, and peace
of these' islands and of the Empire do mainly depend."
Without the Navy's powerful aid our country, if not
conquered by invasion, would almost certainly have
been starved into surrender, nor could our armies in
France, and still less those farther away, have been
supplied with reinforcements and munitions. Its
position at the opening of the war has already been
referred to (see p. 5). Although its influence was
felt in all our operations, it will be convenient to give
here a separate summary of its great work.
Early in 1914 a test mobilisation of the Home Fleets
had been ordered for i6th July. In the ordinary way
the ships would have dispersed on the 27th, but on
the 26th, three days after Austria's ultimatum to
Serbia, the dispersal was countermanded. On the
29th the British First Fleet sailed for Scapa Flow
in the Orkneys, and on ist August our full naval
forces were mobiUsed. Action followed close upon the
declaration of war, for on the 5th the Konigin Luise,
while laying mines some distance off the East Coast,
was chased and sunk by H.M.S. Amphion. A few hours
later the latter struck one of the mines and went down
with most of her crew and some prisoners from the
Luise. On the 6th H.M.S. Birmingham rammed and
sank two enemy submarines.
A brief account may here be given of the Navy's
duties during the war. These were summarised by
Mr. Balfour, as First Lord of the Admiralty, in July,
1915, as follows: —
(i) To drive the enemy's commerce off the sea.
This was accomplished by stationing strong forces in
Scapa Flow and the English Channel, so as to cut off
all egress from the North Sea. The area thus enclosed
was then systematically patrolled by light craft,
Harwich and Dover being two of the chief bases.
(ii) To protect British commerce. To do this it was
necessary to have control in all parts of the world.
The Atlantic was the main avenue of supply, but
routes had also to be considered to and from Australia,
New Zealand, India and China. Also a northern patrol
was necessary to insure the passage from Denmark,
Norway, Sweden and north Russia. Mine-sweepers
and trawlers had to be provided to deal with the
mines laid by the enemy in the main traffic routes.
Finally, when the unrestricted submarine campaign
against trading vessels was undertaken, anti-sub-
marine patrols and escorts both for ships-of-war and
the mercantile marine had to be organised.
(iii) To render the enemy's fleet impotent and (iv)
to prevent the landing of enemy troops. These were
brought about by the forces and patrols referred to
under (i) and (ii) at Scapa, in the English Channel and
elsewhere. Later the battle-cruiser and other squadrons
were stationed in the Firth of Forth.
(v) To enable our troops to be transported across
the sea. This entailed the escort of several millions of
troops between the British Isles, France, India,
Australia, New Zealand, East, West and South Africa,
Gallipoli, Egypt, Palestine, Salonica and latterly
America and Russia.
132
(vi) To secure supplies for troops in all theatres of
war.
(vii) In fitting circumstances to assist military
operations such as those at Gallipoli and at different
times on the Belgian coast.
In the space available it is not possible to do more
than to give a list of the chief actions in which the Navy
was engaged.^
On 28th August a sweep by destroyers and light
cruisers, aided later by battle cruisers, into the Heligo-
land Bight was organised. After some confused fighting
V187, an enemy destroyer, and the light cruisers Koln,
Mainz and Ariadne were sunk with the loss of over
1,000 men. Four enemy raiders were sunk, the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Grosse by H.M.S. High/Iyer on 26th August
at Rio de Oro on the west coast of Africa, the Cap
Trafalgar by H.M.S. Carmania on 14th September off
Trinidada Island, Brazil, the Emden by H.M.S. Sydney
on 9th November at the Cocos or Keeling Islands, in
the Indian Ocean, and the Konigsberg on nth July,
1915, by monitors in the River Rufiji, East Africa,
where she had been shut up by H.M.S. Chatham six
months before. H.M.S. Audacious struck a mine on
27th October and sank, and on ist January, 1915, the
Formidable was torpedoed off Start Point, Devon.
Several destroyers and monitors aided the Allied left
at Lombartzyde on the Belgian coast during the first
Battle of Ypres in October. On 3rd November,
Yarmouth, and on 14th December, Scarborough,
Whitby and the Hartlepools, were bombarded, while
on 24th January, 1915, another attempted raid was
driven off with the loss of the Blilcher and severe
damage to the Seydlitz.
During September, 1915, the Royal Edward carrying
reinforcements to Gallipoli was torpedoed with the
loss of 1,000 out of 1,600 officers and men. In October
• The actions in which members of the Council's staff lost their
lives are dealt with separately at the end of the chapter.
133
the transports Ramazan and Marquette were sunk in
the iEgean, on the 28th H.M.S. Argyll ran aground on
the Scotch coast, and on 30th December the Persia
was torpedoed in the Mediterranean. The German
battleship Pommern was torpedoed in the Baltic on
2nd July.
On 25th April, 1916, Lowestoft and Yarmouth were
again bombarded, in June H.M.S. Hampshire, carrying
Lord Kitchener and his staff to Russia, struck a mine
off the Orkneys and sank with the loss of nearly all on
board, and during the latter part of the year several
vessels of no great importance were damaged or
destroyed on each side.
On 31st January, 1917, the Germans proclaimed
unrestricted action by their U-boats. This danger
was met by developing the destroyer patrols and
patrols by armed trawlers, smacks, drifters, fast motor
boats, etc., by the use of strongly-armed vessels dis-
guised as tramps, by the arming of merchantmen, by
the use of depth charges which were constructed so as
to explode at any depth desired, and by the use of
seaplanes and airships to detect submarines even when
submerged. Commanders of merchant vessels were
instructed as to routes to be taken or avoided. The
vessels were grouped into convoys and many of them
were dazzle-painted so as to deceive the enemy as to
their type and construction, and even as to their
course and speed. Many ships after being sunk were
raised by the salvage service; during the last three
years of the war over a million and a half tons were so
raised, the value of the ships and contents being about
£50,000,000.
The opening of 1918 was marked on 14th January
by the third bombardment of Yarmouth. Ostend and
Zeebrugge were of great assistance to the Germans
as submarine bases, and one object of the Passchen-
daele fighting was to bring them under gunfire (see
p. 70). On 23rd April, 1918, gallant efforts were
134
made to seal the entrances to the harbours. At
Zeebrugge, the Vindictive, under cover of a smoke
screen, and accompanied by a flotilla of destroyers,
monitors and motor launches, was driven on to the
mole to serve as a landing-stage for a storming party.
The latter, having landed, silenced a number of
batteries, destroyed hangars and store-sheds and sank
a destroyer. The submarine C3 was run into the
piles of the railway and, by its explosion, caused
very great damage. Three block ships were sunk in
the channel leading to the Bruges canal. The crews
of the submarine and block ships, after accomplishing
their tasks, were taken off their vessels in motor boats.
The attack at Ostend on the same night was not so
successful, as the wind, changing suddenly, dispersed
the smoke screen, and the block ships were blown up
in the wrong place. In a second attempt on 9th May,
the Vindictive was successfully blown up and sunk
across the channel.
As 1918 advanced the U-boats, partly owing to the
reduction in numbers caused by losses and damage at
sea, and partly owing to the success of our defensive
measures, became much less effective. In October,
1918, when it was clear that the Germans had lost the
war, their War Cabinet undertook that the principles
of cruiser warfare should be observed and that the
lives of non-combatants would be assured. At the end
of the month their fleet, ordered out to sea in the hope
that some desperate stroke might retrieve the situa-
tion, mutinied and it was realised that an offensive
was impossible.
In accordance with the terms of the Armistice
fourteen battleships, seven cruisers and fifty destroyers
surrendered on 21st November to the British Navy and
were taken as prizes to the Firth of Forth. Submarines
to the number of 150 were also surrendered and taken
into Harwich.
135
Casualties amongst the Council's staff.
The actions in which members of the Council's staff
perished were as follows:
H.M.S. Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue.
On 22nd September, 1914, H.M.S. Aboukir, Cressy,
and Hogue, armoured cruisers of 12,000 tons displace-
ment, were torpedoed and sunk in the North Sea to
the south of the Dogger Bank with a loss of 60 officers
and over 1,300 men. The sinking of the Aboukir was
an ordinary hazard of patrolling duty, but the Hogue
and the Cressy were sunk because they proceeded to
the assistance of their consort, and remained, with
engines stopped, endeavouring to save Hfe, thus
presenting an easy and certain target to further
submarine attacks. All the men behaved extraordin-
arily well, obeying orders even when in the water
swimming for their lives, and many acts of great self-
sacrifice and gallantry were witnessed.
Fifteen employees of the Council lost their lives in
the sinking of these ships. They were Henry Arnold,
J. E. Rawlings, A. S. Keeler, R. G. Grist, C. H. Boys,
Walter Challis and A. A. Gaiger (Tramways), E. V.
White, F. J. Owen, Westly Livingstone (L.F.B.), G.
D. Davis and F. C. Chapman (Education), R. W.
Medhurst (Ch. Engr.), William Lawrence (Asylums)
and J. W. Curry (Pub. Cont.).
H.M.S. Hawke.
On 15th October, 1914, H.M.S. Hawke was torpedoed
and sunk in the northern waters of the North Sea. The
Hawke was a cruiser with a displacement of 7,350 tons,
and carried a crew of about 500, of whom only 4 officers
and 69 men were saved. At about 11 a.m. the Hawke
sighted a collier flying the Norwegian flag, and changed
her course slightly in order to investigate the character
of the vessel. The cruiser was moving through the
water at a moderate speed when an explosion occurred
and part of the ship's side was torn away. One boat
only was got away and her crew pulled about
136
endeavouring to save those in the water. Many men
clambered on to Ufe-saving rafts, but the cold was
extreme and numbers of them fell from the rafts into
the water. Three officers and forty-nine men were
saved in this boat and were picked up ultimately by
a trawler. One officer and twenty men were also
picked up later from a raft.
Six employees of the Council were among those who
were lost, namely G. A. B. Allum and T. W. Jackson
(Ch. Engr.), F. T. Hemming and C. W. Waite (L.F.B.),
P. W. Hepworth (Asylums) and A. W. Woods (Tram.).
Battles of Coronel and the Falkland Isles.
Towards the evening of ist November, 1914, H.M.S.
Good Hope, an armoured cruiser of 14,100 tons and
flagship of Admiral Sir C. Cradock, accompanied by
H.M.S. Monmouth, an armoured cruiser of 9,800 tons,
H.M.S. Glasgow, a Hght cruiser of 4,800 tons, and
H.M.S. Otranto, an auxiliary cruiser, came up off
Coronel on the coast of Chile with the squadron of
Admiral von Spee, consisting of the armoured cruisers
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau of 11,400 tons, and the
light cruisers Dresden, Niirnberg and Leipzig, 3,540,
3,350 and 3,200 tons respectively. The enemy declined
action until sunset, when the light gave them an
important advantage. During the action, which began
about 7 p.m. and lasted for an hour, darkness and the
head sea made firing difficult. At an early stage both
the Good Hope and Monmouth caught fire, but fought
on until, at 7.50 p.m., a great explosion took place on
the Good Hope, flames shooting 200 feet into the air,
and the ship foundered with the loss of all on board.
The Monmouth, accompanied by the Glasgow, hauled
off at dark, but was unable to steam away. She was
then attacked by the enemy and sank,, all on board
perishing. The Glasgow and Otranto escaped. The
result of this action is attributed to the superior weight
of metal possessed by the enemy and to the advantages
of position. The British ships fought with gallantry^
137
but the odds were too great. F. H. Field and W. J.
Brooker (Tram.), and J. E. Blake (Parks) lost their
lives on the Good Hope.
After the battle the Glasgow and the Otranto fell in
with H.M.S. Canopus, of 12,950 tons, which also
belonged to Cradock's squadron but had been left
behind for repairs, and the three vessels made for the
South Atlantic. Meanwhile a squadron, consisting of
the battle cruisers H.M.S. Invincible and Inflexible,
each of 17,250 tons, and the three armoured cruisers
H.M.S. Carnarvon of 10,850 tons, and /^^ew/ and Corn-
wall, each of 9,800 tons, was dispatched from England
under Rear- Admiral Sir F. D. Sturdee, and arrived on
7th December at the Falkland Isles off the extreme
south-eastern coast of S. America. Next day, just as
the combined squadrons had finished coaling, von
Spec arrived expecting to find only the renanants of
Cradock's force. When he realised his error he at-
tempted to escape, but was compelled by the superior
speed of the British ships to give battle. His vessels
were overpowered; the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau
were sunk by the battle cruisers, the Nurnberg by the
Kent and the Leipzig by the Glasgow and Cornwall.
About 200 of the crews were rescued, the rest with
von Spec himself going down with their ships. The
Dresden escaped for the time being, but on 14th March,
1915, was sunk by the Kent and the Glasgow off the
island of Juan Fernandez.
Battle of Jutland.
The facts relating to the Battle of Jutland have
been the subject of so much controversy that it must
suffice to say here merely that on 31st May, 1916, the
British Battle-cruiser Fleet, under the command of
Vice-Admiral Sir David Beatty, was cruising to the
west of the Jutland peninsula when the Battle-cruiser
Fleet of Vice-Admiral Hipper was sighted. A fierce
battle commenced, and had lasted for nearly an hour
when the main body of the German High Sea Fleet
138
appeared and took part in the conflict. From the first
sighting of the enemy two hours elapsed before the
main British fleet could appear on the scene of action,
and during the latter part of this time Sir David
Beatty's force was engaged against overwhelming odds.
Though it successfully held the German fleet and
inflicted very heavy damage on the enemy, it neces-
sarily sustained great losses in the unequal conflict.
All the might of the German fleet was concentrated in
turn against the leading ships of the British line.
H.M.S. Queen Mary in particular received the full
force of the enemy's fire, and after a stubborn fight
the vessel was destroyed as the result of an explosion.
Very few of the crew were saved and amongst those
missing were George Doling (L.F.B.) who was serving
as a gunner and E. W. Whitlock (Tram.) who was
serving with the R.M.L.I. H.M.S. Tipperary formed
a unit of the fourth torpedo flotilla attached to the
main Battle Fleet. On the night (31st May/ist June,
1916) following the battle the Fourth, Eleventh and
Twelfth Flotillas delivered a series of attacks on the
enemy, causing him severe losses. In the course of
these attacks H.M.S. Tipperary was sunk. Only 20
men were saved, and among others Leading Stoker
E. W. Pouting (L.F.B.) lost his life.
The Germans claimed the battle as a victory, but
the grounds on which this claim was based are not
obvious. It is difficult to estimate their losses, but
they seem to have equalled ours.^ Their fleet did not
continue the contest, but in the darkness of the early
morning of ist June returned to port. Our blockade
was maintained, and never again did they venture to
dispute our naval supremacy.
General Casualties,
I. J. Miller (R.N., L.F.B.) was on H.M.S. Viknor
when she was lost in January, 1915, and F. A. Halliday

pp. 257-8.
139
(Educ.) and W. S. Entwistle (L.F.B.) were on H.M.S.
Clan McNaughton, an armed merchant cruiser em-
ployed on patrol duty, when she disappeared, having
probably foundered in heavy weather during February.
James Waddingham (R.M.L.I., L.F.B.) was killed by
a gunshot on 29th February, 1916, when H.M.S.
Alcantara was sunk by the Greif, a German raider,
and Alfred Bolt (Tram.) serving on Torpedo-boat No.
II as a gunner lost his hfe on 7th March, 1916, when,
having struck a mine off the East Coast, his vessel
sank with most of her crew.
H.M.S. Foyle struck a mine in the English Channel
on 15th March, 1917, and sank with the loss of 29
men, one of whom was Arthur Roake, D.S.M. (R.F.R,,
L.F.B.). Henry Carpenter (R.F.R., L.F.B.) lost his
hfe on 30th June, 19 17, when H.M.S. Cheerful, while
employed on escort duty, struck a mine and foundered
in the North Sea. H.M.S. Ettrick, engaged in convoying
transports, was torpedoed and sank on 7th July, 1917,
off Beachy Head, those killed including James New
(R.F.R., Tram.). C. J. C. Bastian (R.N., Educ.) was
killed on 9th July, 1917, when H.M.S. Vanguard blew
up in harbour as the result of an internal explosion.
A. C. Jones (R.N.R., L.F.B.) was drowned on 30th
July, 1917, when the s.s. Besswood on which he was
serving as a gimner sank in the Irish Sea after a
collision. H.M.S. Wolverine sank on 12th December,
1917, as a result of a collision, and John Richards (R.N.,
Tram.) was among the very few who lost their lives.
J. W. Helps (Educ.) lost his life in the very gallant
action on 20th January, 1918, when H.M.S. Raglan, a
monitor of 4,500 tons, on which he was serving, aided
by a smaller vessel of the same type, engaged the
Goehen (22,640 tons) and the Breslau (4,480 tons) off
the Dardanelles. The British vessels, hopelessly out-
gunned, were both sunk, but the Breslau, retreating
after the engagement, struck a mine and sank, and the
Goehen also struck a mine and to avoid destruction
K
140
had to be beached in the Narrows. C. L. Pain (Tram.)
was serving on H.M.S. Eleanor when on 12th February,
1918, while carrying a cargo of 2,000 mines, she blew
up with the loss of all hands. W. F. Harden (Educ.)
lost his life on i6th September, 1918, when an explosion
occurred on board H.M.S. Glutton which, having
caught fire, had to be destroyed in Dover Harbour so
as to prevent damage to the shipping and the town.
Decorations.
Lieut. A. G. Dodman (R.N.R., Ch. Engr.) received
the D.S.C. for the gallantry with which, while on
patrol duty in the east Mediterranean on 6th December,
1916, he went to the defence of the s.s, Camherwell, his
skilful action probably leading to the destruction of
the submarine making the attack. The facts relating
to other naval decorations gained by members of the
Council's staff are described under the various fronts.
CHAPTER Vni.
Royal Air Force.
Like the Royal Navy the Royal Air Force served on
all fronts, but, in view of its extraordinary develop-
ment during the war, its achievements can best be
dealt with as a whole.
Balloons, manned by detachments from the Royal
Engineers, were used in the British Army in 1879,
and rendered good service in the Bechuanaland Expe-
dition in 1884 and during the South African War,
1899-1902. The first British dirigible, the Nulli
Secundus, was commenced in 1902 but did not make
its first flight until 1907. Experiments with army
aeroplanes began in 1911 or perhaps a little earlier.
The Navy's experiments with dirigibles and aero-
planes date from 1908 and 191 1 respectively.^ About
' It is interesting to compare these dates with the dates of the
inventions. The balloon was invented by the Montgolfier brothers,
the first man to make an ascent being Jean de Rozier in 1783, the
141
this time only two small airships and fewer than
twelve efficient aeroplanes were available for all
purposes, but the new service rapidly developed, and
on 13th May, 1912, the Royal Flying Corps, with
naval and military wings, and a central flying school,
reserve and factory, was established. In 1913 the
dirigibles were transferred to the Navy, and in June,
1914, the naval wing became an independent force
under the name of the Royal Naval Air Service.
At the outbreak of war practically all the available
machines of the R.F.C., forming rather more than
three squadrons, crossed to France on 13th August,
1914, under the late Sir David Henderson, the majority
landing near Amiens. On the i6th they moved to
Maubeuge, and on the 19th made their first reconnais-
sances. Their value was soon proved for at Mons they
were the first to give warning of the French defeat on
the British right and of the German attempt to out-
flank the British left (see p. 6). They also reported
Von Kluck's swerve to the south-east from Amiens
(see p. 8) and the enemy's entrenchments on the
Aisne (see p. 9).
When the opposing armies settled down into trench
warfare, reconnaissance, although still most important,
became a matter of routine and new features were
developed. One of these was the regular photograph-
ing of the enemy's lines; by comparing later with
earlier photographs the position and nature of his
works and the progress made could be recorded.
Another task was watching for the gun-flashes which
revealed the position of enemy batteries. The fire of
our guns was then brought to bear upon these points,
corrections to the officers controlling the fire being
first successful dirigible was flown at Paris in 1852, the Wright
brothers made their first aeroplane flight in America on 17th Decem-
ber, 1903, and in Europe, at Le Mans, some 100 miles south-west of
Paris, in August, 1908. On 30th September, 1908, Henri Farman
made the first cross-country flight from Chalons to Rheims and on
25th July, 1909, Bleriot crossed the English Channel from Calais
to Dover.
142
signalled at first by coloured lights, later by lamps
flashing the Morse code, and finally by wireless tele-
graphy. There had been fights in the air even during
the retreat from Mons, but these isolated combats
soon developed into systematic attempts to prevent
the enemy's machines from reaching our lines. Gener-
ally speaking, in the early fights, for fear of shooting
away the propeller, only rifles or machine-guns firing
to the side could be used. About the end of 1915 a
German aeroplane was captured on which the action
of the machine-gun trigger was synchronised with the
engine, so that bullets could be fired, without damage
to the blades, between the moving arms of the pro-
peller. This device was copied and fitted to most of
our machines, greatly improving their capacity for the
offensive. Small bombs for attacking ground targets
were also used as early as the retreat but they were
very primitive in construction and limited in action.
Their size and efficiency, as well as the distance which
they could be carried, were rapidly increased, so that
from Neuve Chapelle in 1915 all important battles were
preceded by aerial bombardments of railway and road
centres, dumps, batteries, troop trains, etc. Night
flying was introduced early in 1916.
These developments, spread over 1915 and the early
part of 1916, culminated in the preparations for the
Battle of the Somme. In this battle also one most
useful service was performed by the Corps for the first
time. An army's communications are always difficult
to maintain, and, during a big battle, the difficulties
are increased a hundredfold. The heavy fire cuts all
telephone wires, the continual explosions raise clouds
of smoke and dust through which no signals can be
seen, runners with messages cannot pass to and fro
through the artiller}^ barrage. Attacking troops soon
get out of touch with the higher commanders, some-
times they are fired upon by their own artillery, at
others they are overwhelmed by counter-attacks of
143
which their artillery cannot be warned. The aeroplane
contact patrols altered all this. The assault troops,
by lighting flares in the bottom of the captured
trenches, signalled their position to aeroplanes over-
head, and a code of signals was devised covering the
most urgent of their needs. The higher command
were thus kept informed of the phases of the battle
and could do what was best to help the advance.
Apart from what was done at Kut (see p. 170)
aeroplanes were rarely used for conveying stores;
this work was not undertaken until the end of the
war and then only upon a small scale. Propaganda
literature was often dropped, and from the Battle of
Messines, 1917, onwards, enemy troops, whether in
trenches, in camps or on the march, were frequently
engaged by low-flying planes. One purpose to which
aeroplanes were put is of special interest. Our agents
were taken behind the enemy's lines, dropped by para-
chute, and not infrequently supplied with carrier
pigeons by the same means. There were rumours that
occasionally agents were even picked up after they had
completed their task and brought back.
In the latter part of the war much of the work of
artillery observation and of watching enemy move-
ments in forward areas was done by observers from
captive balloons. The most successful type was the
stream-line shape, ^ designed by Capt, Caquot, a
French officer, in which stability was secured by an
air-inflated tail with three air-inflated fins of equal
size set at angles of 120 deg. In France these balloons
were stationed at frequent intervals along the front,
three miles or so in rear of the line, eight or ten being
usually in sight at once; they were used on other
fronts as well. The occupants ran special risks, for the
balloons were tempting targets for the enemy's artillery
and aeroplanes, some were struck by lightning and
others broke loose in high winds. At sea an adapted
* Known to the troops as " sausages."
144
type was used for convoy escort work. They were
towed by one of the convoy to which they could
telephone information concerning enemy submarines.
They were also used to support, at a height of some
10,000 feet, the aprons of steel cables with which
London was surrounded as a protection against aero-
plane attacks.
The R.N.A.S. was used chiefly for long distance
bombing raids, for maintaining coastal patrols by air-
ships and aeroplanes against submarines, for scouting
at sea, and for the defence of London and the coast
against attacks by air. A list of the raids would fill
several pages, so it must suffice to mention here by
way of illustration in 1914 alone the attacks on
22nd September on Zeppelin sheds at Dusseldorf and
Cologne, and on 21st November on the Zeppehn base
at Friedrichschafen on Lake Constance, the combined
attack by sea and land on Cuxhaven on Christmas
Day and the incessant attacks upon submarine, etc.,
bases at Ostend, Zeebrugge and Bruges. On 7th
June 1915, Flight Sub. -Lieut. R. A. Warneford at
Ghent earned the distinction of being the first airman
to destroy a Zeppelin in the air, a feat for which he
was awarded the V.C. An officer of the R.N.A.S. was
also the first airman to sink a submarine at sea, this
happening on 26th August, 1915.
Both the R.F.C. and the R.N.A.S. served in all
the main theatres of war, and in each had to encounter
new dangers and difficulties. In hot countries, such as
Mesopotamia and the tropics for instance, the machines
were liable to be clogged with sand, and water in the
radiators boiled so easily that flying was usually
possible only in the early morning. The intense heat
also caused wood-work to warp, and machines of a
special pattern in which metal was used instead of
wood had to be designed. In Northern Russia, on the
other hand, the water in the radiators was liable to
freeze and difficult problems connected with lubrica-
145
tion and ignition arose. At sea, and in Egypt and
tropical Africa, there was always the risk that the air-
man might be compelled by engine or other trouble to
alight upon the sea or in the desert or jungle far from
human aid. This danger was partly guarded against by
carrying on the planes pigeons which could be released
with messages for help.
The division of the air force into two independent
parts engendered a healthy spirit of emulation but it
also had grave drawbacks. It is obvious that there
would be much overlapping, little or no standardisa-
tion of equipment, and such keen competition for
limited supplies as to prevent either from obtain-
ing all that was desired. To meet these difficulties
the Joint War Air Committee was set up in February,
1916, to co-ordinate questions of supplies and design,
and three months later an advisory Air Board was
formed. The Board's functions gradually expanded,
in 191 7 supplies were pooled, and at the end of the
year Parhament authorised- the amalgamation of the
two services. The Royal Air Force as thus constituted
came into being on ist April, 1918.
The R.A.F. continued to develop the work of its
predecessors but no details call for special notice except
perhaps the part played by the Force in the final
defeat of the Turks in Palestine (see p. 165). The neigh-
bourhood of the enemy's aerodromes was patrolled so
effectively that none of their machines would venture
out. After the main battle on 19th September, 1918,
our aeroplanes patrolled the only road leading to the
crossings of the Jordan and, by systematic bombing
and machine-gun fire, reduced the defeated troops
into a mere rabble which on the arrival of the cavalry
and infantry surrendered without attempting to resist.
Similar but less complete results followed the defeats
of the Bulgarians at Lake Doiran in September, 1918
(see p. 179), and the Austrians at Vittorio Veneto in
October, 1918 (see p. 184). The Germans in their final
146
retreat on the western front were protected by rain
and ground mists from a like fate.
In June, 1918, the Independent Air Force, succeed-
ing long-distance bombing units of the R.N.A.S.; was
formed for a definite purpose — the bombing of German
munition works. Much good work had already been
done, for during the previous eight months, which
included the severe winter of 19 17-18, 142 raids, of
which 57 were in Germany, had been made. The work
of the I.A.F. can best be summarised by stating that
in five months 550 tons of bombs were dropped, 160
by day and 390 by night, and that of this amount 220
tons were dropped on aerodromes. Special attention
was devoted to railways and to blast furnaces, the
reason for this being that the Germans were very
short of rolling stock, and serious damage would there-
fore lead to important results. A section was formed
for bombing Berlin. The necessary machines, each with
four engines of 375 horse power, were not received until
the end of October, and, although all ranks worked day
and night to equip them for their task, they were not
ready until the Armistice was about to be signed.
A few figures will help to illustrate the surprising
growth of the R.A.F. and its equipment. At the begin-
ning of the war the R.F.C. and the R.N.A.S. comprised
only a few hundred officers and men ; at the Armistice
there were in the R.A.F. some 28,000 officers and
264,000 other ranks, making a total of nearly 300,000.
In 1914 only 40 pupils could be dealt with at a time;
in 1918 30,000 cadets were under instruction at once.
In 1914 the R.F.C. had four squadrons -^ up to strength
and the R.N.A.S. rather fewer. In 1916 the R.F.C.
had 21 squadrons in France, eight in the Middle East
and a number at home. By March, 1918, these numbers
had risen to 76 and 14 respectively, with 22 for home
defence and special training. In November, 1918, the
' The R.A.F. was organised as follows: six machines to a flight,
three flights to a squadron, three or four squadrons to a wing, two
or more wings to a brigade.
147
number of squadrons was over 200, with another 200
for cadet training. The number of machines had
increased from less than 100 to about 22,000. The
machines had also improved. In 1914 the best machine
had a speed of 73 miles an hour and a climbing capacity
>of 3,000 feet in nine minutes; by 1917 speed had been
doubled and climbing capacity trebled. In place of a
single engine of 70 horse power, the most powerful
machines were fitted with two engines of 275 horse
power each and even four engines of 375 horse power
each. The potential output of complete machines rose
from 50 to 3,500 a month and of engines from 14 to
3,000 a month. The weight of the heaviest aerial
bomb, which in 1914 was about 14 lbs., increased in
1915 to 100 lbs., in 1916 to 336 lbs., and in 1918 to
1,600 lbs., or three-quarters of a ton. The seven air-
ships of 1914 had increased by 1918 to 103, including
five rigids.

CHAPTER IX.
Gallipoli.
British influence with Turkey, at one time consider-
able, had, during the last thirty years or so, been,
much weakened. One cause of this was the occupation
of Egypt and Cyprus, another was the resentment
aroused by the spirited condemnations in England
of Turkish misrule, a third was the support given by
Great Britain after the first Balkan war in 1912-13
to the successful claims of Bulgaria and Greece to
Turkish territory, a fourth was the growing under-
standing between Great Britain and Russia, the
hereditary enemy of Turkey. While British influence
waned, that of Germany increased. German capital
was forthcoming both for public and private purposes,
Germany aided the negotiations for the construction
of the Bagdad railway, a German general with a
German staff was appointed to re-organise the army.
When the Great War broke out Great Britain was
seen to side with Russia, and the Turks were further
annoyed and alarmed by the fact that two battleships,
built for them and intended to strengthen their very
weak navy, were detained in England. At the same
time the German war vessels Goeben and Breslau,
eluding the Allied fleet in the Mediterranean, escaped
to Constantinople, and, when their dismantlement
was demanded, were sold or given to Turkey. After
three months' hesitation, Turkey on 31st October,
asserting that her fleet had been fired upon by
Russians, declared war.
The Allies soon dealt with the new combatant,
and decided to do this by means of a naval attack on
Constantinople. They realised that the fall of the city
would check Turkish activities in the Caucasus,
Mesopotamia and Egypt, would ensure the passage
of munitions to, and of food from, Russia, and also
149
would lead to the neutrality, if not the assistance, of
Bulgaria, the safety of Serbia and the co-operation of
Greece.
The approach to Constantinople from the Medi-
terranean lies through the Dardanelles, the strait,
from one to six miles wide, which separates the pen-
insula of Gallipoli ^ from Asia Minor. To make clear
what follows it will be convenient to introduce here
a brief description of the district. The length of
Gallipoli (see plan on p. 150) is a little over fifty miles,
and its breadth varies from about three miles at
Bulair in the north-east to twenty-four east of Suvla
and about seven in the south-west; south of Suvla
and west of Maidos the width for a short distance
drops to less than five miles. It is a rolling, waterless
country, very beautiful in the spring when the hills
are covered with flowers, but, as these fade under the
summer sun, it takes on a tawny, dusty hue. There
is httle cultivation, the southern half being covered
chiefly with heather and scrub. Most of the coast
line consists of steep cliffs, a hundred feet high or
more, pierced here and there by guUies which open
out into narrow strips of beach two or three hundred
yards wide. The chief hills are Sari Bair, nearly a
thousand feet high, to the south of Suvla and com-
manding Suvla Bay and Anzac Cove, and Achi Baba,
six hundred feet high, which commands the beaches
near Cape Helles at the southern end of the peninsula.
Some of the latter, if not all, can also be fired upon
from the mainland of Asia Minor.
As a preliminary to the attack upon Constantinople
^ The peninsula was Icnown to the Greeks in ancient times as the
Thiacian Chersonesus (Uterally " land island," which is equivalent
to peninsula) and the strait as the Hellespont. It was across the
Narrows that, according to the legend, Leander swam to visit
Hero and that Xerxes in B.C. 480 built the bridge of boats over
which he led his army to invade Greece. On the mainland of Asia
Minor, three or four miles from the south-western end of the Helles-
pont, were " reedy Siraois " and the " plains of windy Troy " of
which Homer, the first pagan poet whose works have come down
to us, sang in the Iliad.

GALLIPOLI.
forts guarding the entrance to the Dardanelles were
bombarded from the ^gean on 3rd November, 1914,
but it was not until 19th February, 1915, after what
appeared to be much vacillation in the higher conduct
of the enterprise, that the reduction of the defences
was seriously undertaken by the British and French
navies, acting alone. When the weather permitted
during the next four weeks the bombardment was
renewed, and several of the forts were at least silenced,
if not destroyed An attempt, however, on i8th
March to force the Narrows failed with the loss of
several ships, and it was then determined that the next
assault should be in conjunction with troops on land.
The nearest place at which troops or stores could be
collected was Egypt, 700 miles away. To facilitate
the work an advanced base was formed at Mudros,
in the island of Lemnos, but even this was fifty miles
from Gallipoli, and only the simplest equipment
could be provided there. As the peninsula was for
the most part barren and waterless it was necessary,
in addition to arranging for the transport of the
attacking troops with their guns and ammunition,
to make complete arrangements for supplying them
with all the food and water they required, and for
providing food and water for the transport animals
and shelter and medical stores for the sick. These
preparations occupied four weeks, although some of
the delay would not have been necessary if, owing to
faulty organisation, men had not been conveyed
separately from their ammunition, guns from the
gun-carriages, and wagons from their horses. As it
was, many of the transports, when they arrived at
Mudros, had to be taken back to Egypt, where their
contents were re-arranged. The Turks, warned by
the naval bombardments and by the traffic at sea,
to expect an attack, had every opportunity to complete
their preparations. Troops and guns were hurried
into the peninsula, stores and ammunition were
152
collected, trenches were dug on commanding sites, and
the few and narrow approaches, including even the
shallow parts of the sea, were obstructed with strong
wire entanglements.
The landing, under Sir Ian Hamilton as commander-
in-chief, was attempted at dawn on Sunday, 25th
April, at five points around the southern end of the
peninsula and at one to the north of Gaba Tepe on
the western coast. The assault on the former was
entrusted to the 29th Division, composed of units of
the Regular Army, and to the newly formed R. Naval
Di\dsion, and that on the latter to troops from Australia
and New Zealand. Each landing, so far as possible, was
to be protected by the guns of the ships. The French
effected a diversion by landing at Kum Kale in Asia
Minor opposite Helles, Having done this they with-
drew some days later and took over the right of the
British line at Helles. Reckoning from the east, the
positions assailed on the peninsula were S beach, or
De Tott's Battery, V Beach near Sedd-el-Bahr, W
Beach (or " Lancashire Landing," from the heroism
displayed by the ist Lancashire Fus.) between Capes
Helles and Tekke, X Beach to the north of Cape
Tekke, Y Beach three miles further north, and Z
Beach, afterwards known as Anzac,^ ten miles north
of Y Beach.
At V Beach three companies of the ist R. Dublin
Fus., and a party from the Anson Battalion, R.N.D.,
while being landed from boats were shot down. The
collier River Clyde was run aground, and the troops on
board endeavoured to reach the shore across a bridge
of boats. In doing this and in maintaining the bridge,
three companies of the ist R. Munster Fus. and two
of the 2nd Hants were almost destroyed, only a
remnant finding, under a low sand-bank, protection
from the terrible rifle and machine-gun fire which
' The word was coined from the initial letters of the title " Aus-
tralian and New Zealand Army Corps."
153
swept the beach. The remainder of these three batta-
lions stayed on board under continual fire until night-
fall, when they managed to land. Having joined the
survivors on shore they attacked the village and old
fort of Sedd-el-Bahr, but in the darkness and unknown
country the attack miscarried, and the force was
almost overwhelmed by a counter-attack. Early on
the morning of the 26th the attempt was renewed, and,
aided by the guns from the fleet, was successful.
At W Beach the ist Lancashire Fus,, supported by
the 4th Worcesters and the ist Essex, and at X Beach
the 2nd R. Fusiliers, with a working-party from the
Anson Battalion, R.N.D., and assisted by the 1st R.
Inniskilling Fus., were even more successful, and the
landings were secured on the first day with casualties
which, though heavy, were not so heavy as at V Beach.
The attacks at S and Y Beaches were planned chiefly
with the object of diverting the enemy's reserves and
of thus protecting the main attack at V, W and X
Beaches. That at S Beach by the 2nd S. Wales Bor-
derers succeeded, and the ground won was permanently
held, but at Y Beach the ist K.O. Scottish Borderers
and the Plymouth Battalion, R.N.D., having accom-
plished their purpose, were withdrawn on the 26th. At
Anzac the troops forced a landing, pressed on up steep
gullies, beat off numerous counter-attacks, and by
the evening of the 26th had made good their advance
on a front of over two miles to a depth in parts of
nearly one mile. Units of the R.N.D., supported by
the Navy, made a feint attack upon the enemy's lines
at Bulair at the neck of the peninsula, but no landing
was seriously attempted.
When the positions gained on the various beaches
had been consolidated and while stores and ammu-
nition were being landed our men had some sort of
a respite. This was badly needed, for many, exhausted
by lack of food, water and sleep, by the toil of digging
for most of the day under a hot sun and of carrying
154
heavy loads most of the night, and by the strain of
frequent counter-attacks, were nearing the Umits of
their endurance. About this time some Indian troops
and units from the 42nd Division arrived as reinforce-
ments. During May the line was slowly advanced from
Helles towards Krithia, a village on the slopes of Achi
Baba, the chief assaults being on 6th-8th May and on
4th and 28th June. Counter-attacks were frequent
and in particular one on the night of I9th/20th May
at Anzac, where the lines had been stationary since
the landing, was so violent and the Turkish losses so
heavy that they were granted an armistice in which
to bury their dead. Two British submarines, Eii and
E14, gallantly penetrating the minefields in the straits
torpedoed several Turkish transports carrying rein-
forcements. By the end of the month, that is, in six
weeks from the first landing, the casualties among the
British and Anzacs amounted to nearly 40,000, a
number which exceeded the total battle casualties
in the whole of the South African War.
The next two months were marked by frequent
attacks and counter-attacks, leading to no definite
result, and it became clear that, although our forces
had been strengthened by the arrival of the 13th
and 52nd Divisions, the Turkish line could not be
carried by direct assault. A plan was therefore
formed to land a force at Suvla Bay three miles to
the north of Anzac, and then to advance from Anzac
upon the Sari Bair ridge. It was hoped in this
way to cut the enemy's communications and to turn
his position. Accordingly on 6th August the enemy's
attention was engaged near Helles by an attack (which
happened just to forestall an attack which he was
planning) and during the night following a landing was
effected at Suvla by part of the loth and by the nth
Divisions. The 53rd and 54th Divisions landed later.
The opposition was comparatively slight, and, if
prompt action had been taken, a great success might
155
have been achieved. The delay in pressing our advan-
tage was due partly to the exhaustion of the soldiers
who, notwithstanding elaborate precautions, suffered
terribly from lack of water, but still more to inertia
and confusion in the local higher command upon which
Sir Ian Hamilton commented somewhat severely in
his despatch. The 6th E. Yorks who had occupied
Scimitar Hill with hardly any fighting were, in error,
withdrawn in order to attack elsewhere. The Turks
were able to bring up reinforcements and the advance
which might with so little loss of life have led to great
results was checked. Meanwhile the advance from
Anzac by British, Dominion and Indian troops,
although impeded by the partial failure at Suvla,
proceeded slowly up almost precipitous heights covered
with scrub, and early in the morning of 8th August a
ridge near Chunuk Bair was seized which commanded
a view across the peninsula to the Narrows. The 6th
S. Lanes from the 13th Division and some Gurkhas,
however, who so gallantly captured it came under the
fire of their own guns, troops which should have
supported them lost their way, and under heavy
counter-attacks the ridge had to be abandoned.
Although the attack thus failed, the area held at Anzac
was enlarged from less than one mile to about eight.
The troops having been reinforced by a dismounted
Yeomanry division from Egypt, a further attempt to
advance from Suvla Bay was made on 21st August.
After severe fighting which continued during the night,
positions were gained on Scimitar Hill. It was decided
that these would be untenable by day and our men
were withdrawn.
After the failure at Suvla the fighting died down
into the routine of trench warfare. Early in October
two of the English and one of the French divisions
were sent to Salonica (see p. 176) and towards the
middle of the month Sir Ian Hamilton was ordered
to advise upon the evacuation of the peninsula. A few
156
days later he was recalled to England and Sir Charles
Monro was appointed in his place. This officer reported
strongly in favour of evacuation and his opinion was
confinned by Lord Kitchener who, towards the middle
of November, inspected portions of the lines at Helles,
Anzac and Suvla.
A striking incident showed the risk of remaining
during the winter. On 27th November a sudden gale
from the south-west destroyed several piers and
landing stages and did much damage among the
smaller transports. At the same time a deluge of rain
converted the trenches into torrents in which friend
and foe, stores and mules, were swept away. This was
followed by a blizzard, lasting for nearly two days
and nights, and this again by a heavy frost. The
troops suffered terribly from the unusual cold, many
died, and about 10,000 sick had to be removed.
The evacuation was begun at Anzac and Suvla
and was completed there on the night of I9th/20th
December, just in time to avoid a storm which arose
a few hours later. More than 83,000 men were em-
barked (with the accidental loss of only two men),
with 5,000 horses and mules, 2,000 wagons and 200
guns. At Helles our men were even more fortunate,
for a south-westerly gale was beginning to blow as the
last of them left the shore. There the evacuation was
completed in the early morning of 9th January, 1916,
and included 35,000 men, 4,000 animals and no guns.
The assault upon the peninsula, urged with such
gallantry for so many months and in face of so many
difficulties, thus ended in failure. This was not due to
any lack of bravery, daring, skill or endurance on the
part of the rank and file, but rather to the inability of
the superior commands to meet the demands of so
great an enterprise and to the fact that, in spite of
repeated requests, adequate reinforcements were not
forthcoming. In the House of Commons on 20th
March, 1917, Mr. Asquith, commenting upon the report
157
of the Dardanelles Commission, claimed that the
expedition had saved the position of Russia in the
Caucasus, had delayed for months the defection of
Bulgaria, had kept immobilised at least 300,000 Turks,
and had contributed to the favourable development
of events in Egypt, Mesopotamia and Persia.
Arthur Roake (R.N.R., L.F.B.) was awarded the
D.S.M. for his gallantry on 25th April, 1915, when,
being one of a small party which had been landed to
reconnoitre, he carried a wounded officer under heavy
fire back to the boats, and the next day acted as a
guide to a second party. Sergt. W. F. Bird (ist Co.
of Lond. Yeo., Educ.) was awarded the D.C.M. for
conspicuous gallantry, on 21st August, 1915, at Suvla,
when, as medical orderly, he remained under fire
attending the wounded, and displayed great bravery
and devotion to duty. E. Griffiths (R.F.R., L.F.B.)
won the D.S.M.
The casualties were: killed 28,200, wounded 78,095,
missing 11,254, making a total of 117,549; there
were also nearly 100,000 sick, chiefly cases of dysentery,
malaria, and, towards the end of the occupation,
frost-bite. The deaths among the Council's staff were:

^ CHAPTER X.
Egypt and Palestine.
At the outbreak of war with Turkey it was estimated
that about 140,000 troops were concentrated at
Damascus, and it was anticipated that a part of these
would be used for an attempt upon the Suez Canal.
It was true that to reach the canal the enemy would
have to cross the Sinai Peninsula, a waterless desert
120 miles wide, and that failure would be disastrous.
On the other hand the enterprise, if successful, would
sever a vital link in the British communications with
India and the East, and such a possibility, however
remote, had to be guarded against.
At the end of January, 1915, a Turkish column
reached El Arish, passed through Wadi-el-Arish,^
and on 3rd February endeavoured to cross the Canal

south of Ismalia. Our troops, fully warned, easily
repulsed the attack, killed large numbers of the enemy
and took 600 prisoners.
The British now pushed forward a railway from
Kantara, and early in 1916 Qatia was reached. In
April the Turks tried to interfere with the work but
were driven off. In July an expedition of 18,000 men,
hugging the coast, made some progress, but, bombarded

from British monitors at sea, and harried by mounted
troops on its left and rear, it was completely defeated
on 4th/5th August with the loss of half its number in
casualties and prisoners.
The Senussi of Solium.
Trouble also arose with the Senussi on the western
frontier. These were Arabs, nominally subject to the
Turks, and, as they acknowledge in a loose way the
reUgious authority of the Sultan, they were easily
aroused against the Infidel. Early in December, 1915,
a composite force, which included the 2/7th and 2 /8th
i6o
Middlesex, occupied Matruh midway between the
Nile and the western frontier and defeated the enemy
several times in the neighbourhood. A defeat in
February, 19 16, at Agagiya, sixty miles to the west,
drove them back to Solium where they were dispersed,
with the loss of all their equipment, by armoured cars.
Some of the fugitives fled 500 miles to the south-east
along the oases which form a rough natural boundary
between the desert plateau to the west of the Nile,
and the Libyan Desert, and eventually reached the
Dakhla oasis, near Upper Egypt. They were driven
out in October, 1916, and a remnant which reached
the Siwa oasis, 150 miles from Solium, was defeated
in February, 19 17.
Palestine.
As a preliminary to the invasion of Palestine the
Turks in January, 19 17, were driven out of El Arish
and Rafah and the Qatia railway was continued to the
latter place. Anticipating an attack they strongly forti-
fied Gaza, Beersheba and the district between the Wadi
Ghuzze and the Wadi es Sheria. In March our assault
was launched. A few cavalry entered Gaza on the 26th
but were cut off and, although the 53rd and part of the
54th Divisions surrounded the town, they were with-
drawn a day or so later. On 17th April the attack was
renewed, the 53rd Division attacking along the coast
with the 52nd and 54th on their right. The assault
seems to have been even less successful than the
earlier attempt and, after two days' hard fighting, our
men were withdrawn.
It was probably in this fighting that Co.-Sergt.-Maj.
(afterwards Lieut.) W. A. Trumble (7th Essex, Arch.)
was awarded the D.C.M. for his " marked ability and
courage in handling his section in two engagements."
R. H. Lunn (Essex, Educ.) was killed near Gaza on
26th March, and M. T. Lucas (2/ioth ]\Iiddx., Educ.)
near the same place on 19th April. Lieut. H. J. Payne,
(4th Suss., Comp.) and F. A. Toseland (Highd. L.I.,
i6i
Asylums) on their way to Egypt were drowned on
4th May, 1917, when the transport Transylvania was
torpedoed in the Mediterranean.
Capture of Gaza and Beersheba.
The Turks took the opportunity to strengthen their
defences which were held by ten divisions. General
Sir Edmund Allenby, now in command, determined
to assault a point to the west of Beersheba where the
country was so rugged that the enemy considered
elaborate fortifications to be unnecessary. The pre-
parations, which included the construction of many
miles of roads and branch railways, the laying of
rabbit wire on long stretches of sand so as to provide
passable tracks for traffic, and the formation of depots
for stores and munitions, occupied three months.
By October all was ready and on the 27th Gaza was
heavily bombarded from the land and the sea, while a
sortie from the town was beaten off. The enemy's
attention being thus concentrated upon the right of
his line, the 6oth and 74th Divisions advanced by a
night march, and at dawn on the 31st attacked the
sector west of Beersheba, By the early afternoon the
defences had been breached, and later in the day the
town, with 2,000 prisoners, was seized by Australian
Horse which had made a wide detour to the east. On
ist November Tuweil-abu- Jerwal, a commanding
height north of the town, was occupied by the 53rd
Division, and the Tel-Kuweilfe pass, still further to
the north, was blocked. Turning west the loth and
60th Divisions on the 6th captured a sector of the
defences towards Gaza, and the 60th at Sheria also
cut the railway leading to Jerusalem. The Turks had
been held in Gaza by the 52nd Division, which ad-
vanced before dawn on the 2nd, but the situation
was now desperate and they retreated in disorder
along the coast. The town was occupied on the 7th.
Thus in one week Gaza and Beersheba were captured,
and the enemy was driven out of the whole of the
l62
very formidable positions between those two towns.
Some 9,000 prisoners and 80 guns were captured.

Fall of Jerusalem and Jericho.
The Turks next attempted to make a stand at El
Kubab on high ground guarding Jerusalem and the
railway thereto, but were driven out by the 52nd
Division. Ramleh was seized on the 15th and Jaffa on
the i6th, the latter forming a useful base for supplies
by sea. The enemy were now hemmed in on the high
ground to the east and south-east of Jerusalem.
Avoiding any frontal attack on this main position.
General Allenby on the 20th seized the Nebi Samwal
ridge north of Jerusalem by means of the 75th Division.
On 8th December the 53rd Division advanced from
the south and east and the 60th and 74th from the
west, east and north. Next day the city surrendered
and on the nth it was entered by our victorious troops.
Fresh enemy troops advancing towards the city
were driven off on 27th December by yeomanry and
the loth Division and, following up this success, our
troops next day pushed the enemy back some miles.
Several weeks of rain caused hostilities to be suspended
and time was thus given for putting roads and railways
into repair. Towards the end of February, 1918,
fighting commenced again, and the 6oth Division with
Anzac horse fought their way towards Jericho which
was entered on the 21st.
C. E. West (2/i4th Lond., Educ), wounded on 8th

Raids across the Jordan.
Early in the war many Arab tribes in Hejaz, to the
east of the Red Sea, threw off the Turkish suzerainty,
which for long they had barely acknowledged, and a
force under Feisal, son of the King of Hejaz, in
addition to protecting the right flank of Allenby's
advance, also attacked various posts between the
Red Sea and the Dead Sea and harried the Turkish
lines of communication along the railway from
Damascus to Mecca. ^ To assist these columns
the 6oth Division and Anzacs on 2ist March, 1918,
forced the passage of the Jordan and pushed on to Es
Salt which was occupied on the 25th. Attempts during
the next few days to reach the railway in strength
failed, but small raiding parties cut it in several places
and on 2nd April the troops were withdrawn. On the
30th the attack was renewed when mounted troops
again occupied Es Salt and the Goth Division assaulted
positions to the south-west. A Turkish counter-attack
upon the left flank of the expedition was successful
and forced our men to retire with the loss of nine guns.
As a set-off nearly one thousand Turks were captured.
Capt. F. V. Harris (loth Lond., Solr.) won the M.C.
on 26th March but no details are available. Co.-Sergt.-
Maj. B. C. Hales (2/23rd Lond., Educ.) was awarded
the D.C.M. for his gallantry during the first raid.
" He took command of his company, when all the
officers had been wounded. Under intense rifle and
machine-gun fire he moved fearlessly about, encour-
aging and organising his much depleted company.
Afterwards, he was placed in command of the left of
the battalion line, when his courage and resource
under heavy fire materially assisted in beating off two
strong counter-attacks."

Battle of Megiddo.
The success of the German offensives in France from
March onwards led to the recall of the 52nd and 74th
and the bulk of the 6oth Divisions, their place being
taken by Indian troops, chiefly from Mesopotamia.
Large Turkish forces were detached for service in
Persia and elsewhere, so that for once the Allies had
the advantage in numbers. As soon as his new troops
were properly incorporated in the army General
Allenby decided to seize the opportunity for over-
whelming the enemy in this part. Accordingly on
i8th September the loth and 53rd Divisions made a
feint on the right of our line to the north of Jerusalem,
and next day the main attack was launched against
the enemy's positions on the coastal plain north of
Jaffa. This was completely successful; two important
lines of defence were overrun, and on the 20th three
cavalry divisions, pushing forward through the gap
thus formed and wheeling eastward, cut the enemy's
lines of retreat at El Afuleh and Beisan and seized the
crossings over the Jordan. Liman von Sanders, the
German commander-in-chief, narrowly escaped capture
at Nazareth, his headquarters. Under attacks by the
loth and 53rd, aided by several Indian divisions, from
the south and west the enemy now turned and fled,
and, as the main outlets were already held by our
troops, escape was possible only for small scattered
bodies using the rough and narrow liill tracks. The
disorganisation was completed by the airmen who
dispersed the fugitives with bombs iind machine-gun
fire. Such of the enemy as escaped were relentlessly
pursued, and^Damascus surrendered on ist October
js and Beirut on the 7th. In less than three weeks from
1 66
the opening of the attack 75,000 prisoners (including
3,000 Germans and Austrians) and 300 guns were
captured ; out of
three Turkish annies
only some 17,000
escaped death or
capture.
The advance still
continued and, as the
enemy offered little
resistance, progress
was rapid. Tripoli
surrendered on 13th
October and Horns
on the i6th, while on
the 26th Aleppo and
Muslimie, the latter
an important railway
centre, were captured
after a brisk skir-
mish with enemy
rearguards. General
Townshend, who had
been taken prisoner
at Kut (see p. 170),
was now released
with the request that
he would arrange an immediate armistice. This was
signed on the 30th when the Turks agreed to open
the Dardanelles and Bosphorus, to surrender all
prisoners, to demobilise their army and to transfer
to the Allies the control of all railways.
During this fighting no members of the Council's
staff were killed, but Lieut. W. A. Trumble, D.C.M.
(6th Essex, Arch.) died in Egypt on 9th October, and
W. Jackson (2/22nd Lond., Educ.) near Jerusalem of
malaria on the 13th, and Corp. E. M. Stiller (R.F.A.,
Tram.) died in hospital at Alexandria of pneumonia on
14th December.

CHAPTER XI.
Mesopotamia.
When war broke out with Turkey the occupation of
Basra was urged as a means of diverting Turkish
troops from the threatened attack on the Suez Canal
and Egypt, and of protecting the Anglo-Persian oil
line, an important source of supply for the British
Navy. Accordingly a mixed British and Indian Force,
which was despatched to Mesopotamia with this object,
defeated the Turks at Sahil, and on 22nd November,
1914, entered Basra. On 9th December the garrison
of Qurna, 40 miles higher up, surrendered with nine
guns.
Much of Mesopotamia is waste sandy loam, subject
to sand storms during the hot weather and turning
into an adhesive mud during the wet season. As there
are few roads or even tracks, the rivers are the chief
means of communication, but they have swift currents,
are liable to floods and are encumbered with numerous
shallows. Few troops were available for further opera-
tions, and the difficulties of transporting them and
their supplies were very great.
Some months elapsed before reinforcements arrived,
and the Turks, encouraged by the delay, took the
initiative, but were driven back at Shaiba on 14th
April, 1915. During May Gen. Townshend, having
collected or improvised some sort of water transport,
advanced with one division up the Tigris and, taking
the garrison of Amara more or less by surprise, occupied
the town on the 29th. At the same time the advance
was consolidated by troops under General Gorringe
which cleared the enemy from the district between
Ahwaz and Amara and in July advanced up the
Euphrates and took Nasiriya.
^ The water transport, barely sufficient for the original
expedition, had now to serve twice the number of
men, and the problem of supplying the troops with
i68
food and ammunition and of dealing with the sick and
wounded became very serious. Nevertheless General
Townshend was ordered to advance. On 29th September
he defeated the enemy at Kut, captured the town with
1,700 prisoners and much war material, and followed

up the victory by sending his cavalry in pursuit to
Aziziya, 50 miles farther up the river.
It was generally considered that to continue the
advance, without substantial reinforcements and
greatly improved transport, would be unwise, even
disastrous, and early in October the Government of
India ordered a halt. Why this order was afterwards
169
waived is not clear. The British Government seem to
have represented that, prospects in Gallipoh being
uncertain, a striking success in the East was desirable,
and the mihtary authorities may have been too
sanguine-. Whatever the reason, a few reinforcements
were sent but no transport, and in November, when
the Turks had organised their defences, the advance
was renewed. On the 21st our men drove the enemy
out of Laj, pushed on nine miles, and on the 22nd
attacked the main position at Ctesiphon, only sixteen
miles from Baghdad. Two lines of trenches were
captured, but enemy reinforcements compelled the
British to retire to the first line. They were now out-
numbered by about two to one, and on the night of
the 25th/26th a retreat was ordered. On 3rd Decem-
ber, after a series of rear-guard actions, Kut was
reached in safety.
The town lies on a strip of land, one mile broad and
two deep, with the Tigris on three sides of it (see plan
on p. 170). Across the neck of this strip entrenchments
were dug, and buildings on the farther, that is the
south side of the river,^ were also fortified. On the
9th the Turks commenced the assault and drove in
the southern outpost. Four attacks on loth December
were beaten back and, after a period of comparative
rest, a fifth on the 24th, supported by heavy reinforce-
ments, met with a like fate. Meanwhile the enemy, in
order to hold up any relieving expedition, erected
strong fortifications below the town, chiefly at Es
Sinn on the south bank and at Hanna and Sanna-i-Yat
on the north bank where there were extensive marshes.
The winter rains now set in, turning much of the
country into a morass, but early in January, 1916, a
relieving column under General Aylmer, although
hampered by lack of transport, reached Hanna,
twenty miles away, where it was checked and had to

retire. A second attempt on the night of the gth/ioth
March, this time on the south side of the river towards
the Dujaila Redoubt, miscarried in the darkness, and,
after severe fighting, the troops were withdrawn. At
the third attempt the 13th Division, under Gen,
Maude, captured five lines of trenches at Hanna on
5th April, and on the 9th, after the advance had been
held up by floods, breached the Sanna-i-Yat defences.

South of the river our troops reached Bait Aissa, but
neither body could get any farther.
Although rations had been reduced to a half and
then to a fourth, and supplies had been dropped from
aeroplanes, all food in Kut, including the battery
bullocks and mules, had now been consumed, and on
29th April, arms and ammunition having been
destroyed, the town, after a siege of five months,
surrendered.
Corp. H. J. Belben (4th Hants, Educ), serving with
one of the relieving columns, died of disease at Amara
on 19th January, 1916.
The British spent the summer and autumn of 1916
on the defensive, but the time was fully occupied
by Sir Stanley Maude, now commander-in-chief, in
171
organising transport, in accumulating stores, in
training the reinforcements which were being freely
sent, and generally in preparing for an advance. The
Turks also laboured incessantly, constructing on the
south side of the river at Kut, one within the other,
four elaborate trench systems, the outermost of which
extended for about thirty miles. The British attack
opened on 13th December with a bombardment of
the Sanna-i-Yat defences. This was only a feint, for
the main body, crossing the desert, advanced towards
Kut along both banks of the Shatt-el-Hai which
connects the Tigris with the Euphrates. The ruse
succeeded and the defending troops were taken by
surprise. Heavy rains now fell for several weeks, but
the troops pressed on and by 19th January, 191 7,
after much desperate fighting, had cleared the enemy
from the four trench systems east of the Hai and had
reached the Tigris. This success was followed on 3rd
February by the storming of the defences which
covered the junction of the Tigris and the Hai, and by
the 15th the enemy had been cleared from the elaborate
defences west of the Hai. On the i6th the attack at
Sanna-i-Yat was resumed with success and, while the
enemy's attention was engaged there, the Tigris was
crossed on the 23rd at Shumran to the west of Kut.
Next day the British broke through at Sanna-i-Yat
and the Turks everywhere retreated in disorder, the
retreat being hastened by our cavalry and by gun-
boats on the river.
Aziziya was reached on the 27th and, after a brief
halt while the lines of communication were being
organised, the troops went forward again, occupying
Ctesiphon on 6th March without resistance. The
Diyala was crossed on the night of the 8th/9th, and
on the nth our troops entered Baghdad.
At each stage of the advance many prisoners were
taken and at Baghdad, the terminus of the railway
from Constantinople, much war material, including
M
172
railway and hospital equipment, arms and munitions,
was seized.
Major G. R. Treadwell (6th E. Lanes, Educ.) was
killed on 5th February, 1917, and Lance-Corp. A. E.
Morris (8th R. Welch Fus., Educ.) and Arthur Walker
(8th R. Welch Fus., Tram.) on the 15th, all to the west
of Kut.
Operations in Upper Mesopotamia.
The capture of Baghdad was immediately con-
solidated by stationing strong outposts up the Tigris,

Diyala and Euphrates. Mushaidiya,^ situated on the
first, was seized on i6th March after a sharp encounter
with the enemy; Baquba, on the second, on the i8th;
and Feludja, on the third, on the 19th. On the 23rd
a force from Baquba occupied Shahraban, twenty
miles to the north-east, and, after several conflicts
with the Turks who were being driven out of Persia
by the Russians, established touch with the latter at
Kizil Robat, on 2nd April. On the 21st the enemy were
defeated at Istabulat in front of Samarra, an important
position on the Tigris and the railway, and two days

173
later that place was seized as well as more war material.
The first attack, on nth July, upon Ramadi, thirty
miles up the Euphrates from Feludja, was a failure,
but a second attempt succeeded on 29th September,
when 3,500 prisoners and the bulk of the enemy's
remaining stores in this part were captured.
In the midst of these striking successes Sir Stanley
Maude, to whom so much of their credit was due, died
of cholera at Baghdad on i8th November, 1917.
General Sir W. R. Marshall, his second-in-command,
was entrusted with the conduct of affairs and during
19 18 Hit and Khan Baghdad on the Euphrates were
captured in March with 4,000 prisoners, and the enemy
was routed and pursued to a point beyond Ana
This put an end to any risk of an attack down the
Euphrates. At the end of April the Turks were de-
feated at Kirkuk, north of the Diyala, with further
heavy losses. The offensive up the Tigris was resumed
in October, and on the 27th the enemy were attacked
by our infantry at Sharqat, while cavalry and armoured
cars blocked the hnes of retreat. On the 30th the
whole force to the number of about 7,000 with all
stores, etc., surrendered. Mosul, 550 miles from Basra,
and 200 from Baghdad, was occupied a few days later.
The terms of the armistice with Turkey have already
been given (see p. 166).
Capt. J. T. Snelgar (5th Wilts, Educ.) was awarded
the M.B.E. for general good work as adjutant and
for staff work in connection with the capture and
occupation of Kirkuk.
Sergt. A. Peters (7th Glouc, Tram.) died of typhus
on loth July, G. F. Jago (R.A.S.C, Educ.) of typhoid
on 30th November, and B. A. M. Dunning "(R.E.,
Tram.) of dysentery on 6th December.
Persia and Caucasia.
After hostihties between Germany and Russia had
definitely ceased towards the end of 1917, it was
feared that the enemy might penetrate through the
174
southern parts of Asiatic Russia, and so threaten our
positions in Mesopotamia and to the north-west of
India. A mihtary mission, despatched from India
in the early part of 1918, therefore occupied Meshed
and estabhshed posts on the railway at Krasnovodsk,
Askhabad and Merv. These four places are all to the
east of the Caspian Sea.^
For the same reasons it was necessary to strengthen
our positions up, and to the north-east of, the Diyala.
Hamadan, in north-west Persia, and Rasht were
occupied, the occupation of the latter involving us in
conjflict with the native tribes. Access was secured
to Enzali, a port on the Caspian near Rasht, and
a small expedition was sent in August to help in
the defence of Baku, the important centre for oil
on the west coast of the Caspian. The local levies
proved to be quite unreliable, so that the brunt of
the fighting fell upon our troops, and in September
they were withdrawn to Enzali. The expedition,
however, had the result of inducing the ex-Russian
fleet on the Caspian to side with the Allies, and so
checked German or Turkish hopes of an advance to
the east.
After the armistice with Turkey a British force
was stationed between the Caspian and the Black
Sea in order to keep open the Batum — Tiflis — Baku
railway, and to maintain communications across the
Caspian with the British force, mentioned above, at,
and near, Krasnovodsk.
Lieut. H. A. King (Camel Corps, Educ.) died in east
Persia on 4th November, 1918, of enteric.

Salonica.
Before describing the British share in the Allied
expedition to Salonica it should be mentioned that the

Austrians followed up their declaration of war on
Serbia by bombarding Belgrade, the capital, and on
13th August crossed the Danube at Shabatz, 40 miles
to the west. Within a few days they were driven
out, and a more threatening attack in November and
December, which reached Valjevo, 30 miles to the
south of the Danube, and led to the fall of Belgrade
on 2nd December, was also completely repulsed.
After the first Balkan war, waged by the Bulgarians
with the help of Serbians and Greeks against the
Turks in 1913, the Bulgarians fell out with their aUies,
and, in the war which followed, lost most of their gains.
It was feared that they might take advantage of the
general European war to avenge themselves upon the
Serbians, and the latter were urged to secure their
neutraUty or even alliance, by conceding the territory
in dispute. Naturally the Serbians were unwilHng to
do this, and Germany and Austria by counter proposals,
including a substantial loan, obtained the promise of
assistance from the Bulgarians. During September,
1915, when the crops had been harvested, their army
was mobihsed, ostensibly to maintain an armed
neutrality. Early in October an Austro-German
expedition under Von Mackensen invaded Serbia
from the north and the Bulgarians, at length throwing
aside all pretence, attacked the Serbians from the
east. The Serbian army, already reduced by a year's
fighting to about 100,000, was thus set upon by forces
four or five times as numerous, and, in spite of an
heroic resistance, was rapidly driven back. By the
end of November, having lost practically all its guns,
ammunition and stores, it had ceased to exist as an
organised unit.
The Greeks were parties to a treaty which required
them to assist the Serbians but, under the guidance of
King Constantine, whose wife was a sister of the
Kaiser, had no great scruples in ignoring their re-
sponsibilities. France and Great Britain, however.
176
were ready to assist, and Salonica, a Greek port of
some 140,000 inhabitants, was offered and accepted
as a base. A French force, which included the British
loth Division from GalHpoli, was landed in October,
19 15, and endeavoured to join hands with the retreat-
ing Serbians by advancing up the valley of the Vardar
along the railway from Salonica to Uskub and Nish.
After severe fighting by the French, an attempt to
Cetrinje
L. SCi/T/tKi;

reach Veles failed and the force returned, through
dreadful hardships,- to Salonica. The British, who
were stationed between Lake Doiran and Dedeli to
the north-west to cover the retreat, were heavily
attacked early in December during a fog and some-
what roughly handled. They were able, however, to
complete their task, and to retire into Greek territory.
The Bulgarians did not cross the frontier and the
Allies, being unmolested, spent the winter of 1915/16
in constructing very strong defensive works from
Lakes Beshik and Langaza to the Vardar.
There was much else to be done. " When you step
17?
out of Salonica you step into a virtual desert, road-
less, treeless, uncultivated, populated only by scattered
villages . . . inhabited by a low-grade peasantry." ^
Only two roads, both quite inadequate for heavy
traffic, and three lines of single railway led from the
town towards the enemy. " Winter, right up to the
beginning of April, is a season of snow, rain, and, above
all, mud. Tracks dissolve into quagmires, main roads
break up into holes and ridges, impassable for motor
traffic." Roads and bridges were therefore made, wells
sunk, suppHes stored, hospitals and buildings of all
sorts erected, and to enable it to cope with the extra
traffic the harbour was deepened and improved.
Although the Allies had been officially invited to
Salonica, an influential party among the Greeks
opposed their work in every way. Worse followed,
for on 26th May, 19 16, Rupel, commanding the valley
of the Struma, was seized by the Bulgarians, the Greeks
apparently conniving. In reply the French commander-
in-chiel placed Salonica under martial law, and on
30th August the town definitely sided with the Allies.
A strangely composite force, comprising French,
British, Russians, Itahans, Serbians, Portuguese,
contingents from French and British colonies and
Greek volunteers, was gradually collected. To the
British loth Division were added the 22nd, 26th,
27th, 28th and 60th Divisions, but of these the loth
left in 1916 and the 60th in 1917 for Palestine. After
a quiet \\dnter and spring the line was slowly advanced
during the summer of 19 16, with the British in general
in the sector between the Struma and the Vardar,
but the Bulgarians captured Kavalla on our right
and were successful at Lake Ostrovo on our left. The
British made captures to the west of Lake Doiran on
the night of I7th/i8th August, and on nth September
successfully attacked the Macukovo salient on the left
bank of the Vardar, and crossed the Struma at and

near Orliak. These affairs were a prelude to an ad-
vance on the left by the French, who stormed Fiorina
on i8th September and Monastir on 19th November.
On 30th September and succeeding days British troops
captured Zir, and other positions towards Seres, and
on 31st October captured Barakli Jumaa.
The campaign of 19 17 was marked by a determined
British attack on the enemy's position in front of the
Petit Couronne to the west of Lake Doiran. Front
line trenches were captured in a night attack on
24th/25th April, but most of them were commanded
by the enemy's reserve trenches and had to be
evacuated, and an attack on the night of 8th /9th
May had a similar result. The total British casualties
were about 10,000. During the summer, in order to
escape the malaria and other diseases which infested
the low-lying ground, both sides retired to the hills
which hne the valley of the Struma, forward positions
being held only by outposts.
Lieut. T. W. Greenstreet (R. Irish Fus,, Educ.) was
awarded the M.C. for his gallantry, on the night of
20th/2ist April, to the east of Lake Doiran. While he
was guiding an attacking party over difficult country
an alarm was given and, the party being much broken
up, he was left alone near the enemy's position. " He
then, single-handed, kept the enemy at bay, and it
was due to his great gallantry that very severe casual-
ties to the retiring party were prevented. Having
exhausted his ammunition, he clubbed a rifle and con-
tinued to fight until, wounded and overcome, he was
captured."
Co.-Sergt.-Maj. A. E. Dawes (2/2oth Lond., Educ.)
received the D.C.M. for his gallantry during a raid
on 23rd April, when, " although wounded, he organised •
a bombing party, and succeeded in knocking a machine-
gun out. Afterwards, though wounded three times,
he carried out his duties with the utmost coolness
and gallantry."

of malaria on 3rd September, igi6. Lieut. H. F.
Bartram (7th Wilts, Comp.) was killed during the
attack on 24th April, 1917, and Lieut. W. L Partridge
(loth Devons, Comp.) and Daniel Conley (2/20th
Lond., Ch. Engr.) on the 25th. Lance-Corp. J. D.
Allen (2/i6th Lond., Educ.) died on loth May of
wounds received two days earlier. W. F. Fish
(R.A.M.C., Asylums) who was gassed in March, died
on 24th May of paraplegia, E. H. Doherty (Durh. L.L,

Sergt. -Farrier G. M. Dobson (R.A.S.C, Ch. Engr.)
of the same disease on i6th October.
The front was quiet during the spring and summer
of 1918, but on 15th September the French and
Serbians broke through on a front of seven miles,
and rapidly extending their success, within a few
days advanced some twenty miles. The British and
Greeks prevented the transfer of reinforcements
by attacking near Lake Doiran, and on the 27th
captured Strumnitza. Prilep fell to the French and
Serbians on the 23rd, Ishtip on the 25th, and Uskub on
the 29th. The Bulgarians, with their communications
cut, were thus threatened with annihilation and apphed
for an armistice. This was signed at Salonica, Bulgaria
evacuating Greece and Serbia, demobilising her army,
surrendering all arms and munitions, making over to
the Alhes all means of transport and receiving Allied
garrisons into various parts of her territory. Even after
the surrender of Bulgaria a few German and Austrian
troops attempted to oppose the Alhes, but this re-
sistance was brushed aside, and the Serbians entered
Nish on 12th October, and Belgrade on ist November.
In four weeks from the opening of the offensive 90,000
prisoners and 2,000 guns were captured.^
* General Ludendorff seems to have regarded this defeat as more
disastrous for the cause of Germany and her allies than any of the
others experienced about this time (My War Memories, 191 4-1 8,
vol. ii. p. 715).

Lieut, W. R. Reeve (E. Surr., Educ.) received the
M.C. for his gallantry on the night of 26th/27th
September during two successful patrols when the

Master E. A. Beattie (R.A.M.C, Educ.) received
the M.B.E. in recognition of his gallantry in saving
a man's life at Kavalla on 17th December, igi8.
Co.-Sergt. Maj. F. Challen (9th Bord., Educ.) was
awarded the D.C.M. "He took charge of officers'
parties, and it was mainly due to his courage, energy
and determination that long lengths of wire entangle-
ments were erected in a very short space of time."

CHAPTER XHL
British Troops in Italy.
Italy had two main reasons for declaring war upon
Austria. First, she was alarmed by the latter's designs
upon Serbia and the cast coast of the Adriatic; the
success of these would naturally gravely impair Italian
influence in the Mediterranean. Secondly, she was
i8i
anxious to recover Italian lands, held by the Austrians,
such as the Trentino in South Tirol, and Trieste and
Istria north-east of the Adriatic. In the spring of
19 15, Austria made certain vague offers which were
regarded as quite insufficient, and on 23rd May, 1915,
after further indecisive parlcyings, Italy declared war.
The Trentino projects into Italy in a great sahent,
so that the danger of the Austrians secretly collecting
troops for a sudden attack had to be guarded against.
Fortunately the frontier around this salient and to the
east Ues along the crests of the Alps, which are crossed
by only a few passes. The Italians were satisfied with
containing, by frequent local attacks, a number of
the enemy in this part, while they made their chief
attacks through open country on the east towards the
Isonzo. During 1915 no fewer than five great assaults
were launched in this direction. In June, 1916, an
Austrian counter-offensive from the Trentino, which
at first seemed very threatening, was driven back, and
in August the attacks upon the Isonzo were resumed,
with the result that Gorizia was taken, and the line
carried forward across the Carso plateau south of the
town. A further advance there and across the Bain-
sizza plateau north of the town in May, 1917, was
checked by the Austrians, but the attack, in which
a few British heavy batteries assisted, was resumed
later with some success.
Towards the end of October, 19 17, the Austrians,
aided by Germans, attacked the Italian 2nd Army
near Caporetto to the north of Gorizia. The defence,
war-weary and much discouraged by troubles amongst
the civil population, offered little resistance,^ and on
the 26th, in order to ensure the safety of the rest of
the line, a general retreat was ordered. This con-
tinued until I2th November when the river Piave

Alpini near Gorizia were reported by airmen to be still holding
out as late as 4th November, although they were then 100 miles or
more behind the line.

was reached. The ItaUans lost 200,000 men and 2,000
guns, and their gains in the Trentino and near the
Isonzo, as well as a district, at least 100 miles deep
and of the same breadth, out of their own territory.
In their extremity they turned to the Allies for assist-
ance, and five British divisions, the 5th, 7th, 23rd,
41st and 48th, under Sir Henry Plumer,^ in addition
to French divisions under French generals were sent.

November but remained firm, and the enemy, content
with their gains, at length broke off the engagement.
About this time General Diaz succeeded General
Cadorna as Itahan commander-in-chief.
The spring of 1918 was quiet, but on 15th June
the Austrians resumed the offensive with an attack
upon the British 23rd and 48th Divisions on the
Asiago plateau, immediately west of the river Brenta.
The attack did not succeed, for the positions lost by us
were promptly regained by counter-attacks. Attacks

and was succeeded by the Earl of Cavan; somewhat later the
5th and 41st Divisions returned to France.
i«3
upon the Italian lines along the Piave were at first
more promising, for crossings were forced at several
points. Reinforcements, however, were brought up,
and these, aided by a sudden rise of the river which
seriously hampered the Austrian lines of transport,
retook the lost positions.
During the autumn, signs of a loss of moral among
the Austrians began to be noted, and General Diaz,
although his forces were fewer in number, decided to
attempt a break through. He first ordered an attack
up the valley of the Brenta and, when the enemy's
reserves were thoroughly engaged in that sector,
directed a general attack to the east. As part of this
the Earl of Cavan, now commanding the loth ItaUan
Army which included the 7th and 23rd British Divi-
sions, was ordered to cross the Piave. The river, on
the front of attack, was over a mile wide, but it was
broken up by numerous islands, the chief of which,
the Grave di Papadopoh, was three miles long by one
broad.
On the night of 23rd/24th October, the 2nd H.A.C.
and the ist R. Welch Fus., crossing in small boats,
surprised the garrison and captured part of the island ;
next night the conquest was completed by the 7th and
an Itahan division. On the 27th, the 7th and 23rd
Divisions, under cover of a heavy bombardment,
attacked the enemy on the farther bank of the river.
Bridges to connect our hues with Papadopoli had been
constructed, but, beyond the island, the troops had
to use fords. These were often five feet deep, and, as
the river was in flood and the currents strong, many
men were swept away and drowned. After a stout
resistance, the passage was forced, the bridges were
carried forward across the river, and the advance was
continued. On the British left the. 8th ItaHan Army
was held up, and, for a time, that flank was in some
danger. However, the river, still higher up, was
crossed by other ItaHan troops, and eventually the
i84
district between us and them was cleared, and on the
28th the 8th Italian Army was able to complete its
crossing. On the 29th it reached Vittorio, a very
important point in the Austrian hues of communica-
tion, while the loth Army reached the Monticano.
A great wedge had thus been driven into the Austrian
front, completely dividing the troops in the plains
from those in the hill country to the north. The
retreat rapidly degenerated into a rout, the enemy
abandoning all stores, and surrendering in great num-
bers, often by whole units at a time. By 4th November
Cavan had crossed the TagHamento, the 6th Army,
which included the British 48th Division, was on the
outskirts of Trent, and Trieste had been occupied
from the sea.
The Austrians had now lost at least 300,000 prisoners
and 5,000 guns,i most of the nations which formed
their straggling empire were in a state of revolution,
and further resistance was hopeless. Under an armis-
tice, concluded on 4th November, they demobihsed
their army, surrendered half their artillery, the bulk
of their navy, and all prisoners of war, and, leaving
in position all military and railway equipment, evacu-
ated all invaded territory, as well as strips of what,
till then, had formed part of their own country.
Sergt. G. Burnett (H.A.C., Educ.) was awarded the
M.M. for bravery in action at PapadopoH, and Sergt.
A. P. Paveley (R.F.A., Asylums) for bravery in action
at Cesuna.
During 1917 Harry Carben (R.A.M.C, Tram.) died
at Taranto of dysentery on 20th July, and during
1918 Charles Gristwood (R.F.A., Tram.) died of rupture
on 24th January, Capt. R. P. Buxton (4th Oxf. and
Bucks L.I., Educ.) was killed in action on the Asiago
plateau on 15th June, and V. E. T. Sahnon (2nd
H.A.C., Educ.) died on 3rd November of influenza.
^The British 7th and 23rd Divisions alone captured 28,000
prisoners and 219 guns, and the 48th Division at least 20,000
prisoners and 500 guns.

CHAPTER XIV
British Tkoops in Russia.
During the war Murmansk in North Russia was
greatly developed, with the help of the Allies, as a
port for supplying
the Russians with
munitions, and, at
the same time, it
was connected with
Petrograd by a rail-
way some 600 miles
long. In order to
prevent the Ger-
mans from estabhsh-
ing submarine bases
there and at Arch-
angel, Allied detach-
ments were landed
in August, 1918.
That at Murmansk,
assisted by local
levies, defeated White
Finn and German de-
tachments in several
engagements, and
drove them from
North Karelia. The force at Archangel was also success-
ful and advanced 200 miles up the Dwina and about 100
miles up the Vologda railway. On i8th October, our
advanced troops on the Dwina were driven back, but
other attacks then and early in December were beaten
off with heavy loss to the enemy. In April, 1919, the
Bolsheviks initiated further attacks near Archangel,
and our force at Murmansk which had been unmolested
for several months was also attacked. Neither attempt
succeeded, but in July, some of the local levies having
mutinied, the situation became so threatening that

Sir Henry (afterwards Lord) Rawlinson ^A^as sent out
mth reinforcements. By their help the objects of the
expedition were finally achieved and, as the Allied
Council was opposed to further operations, Archangel
was voluntarily evacuated at the end of September
and Murmansk early in October.
Major A. G. Church (R.G.A., Educ), M.C., was
awarded the D.S.O. and the order of St. Vladimir
(with crossed swords and bow) " for conspicuous
gallantry and zeal during the operations from . . .
June 8th to July 26th, 1919. When the Russian
infantry were driven back ... he pushed his guns
up to the front line and restored the situation by his
accurate shooting. ... On June 22nd under heavy
shelling he kept his guns in action, silencing the
enemy and causing them to move their guns."
Siberia.
Serving with the Russian army was a Czecho-Slovak
Corps composed for the most part of troops who had
deserted to the Russians. After peace was signed
between Russia and Germany this corps determined
to continue fighting for the Allies. Accordingly they
proposed to make their way across Siberia to Vladi-
vostok so that they might take ship thence for Europe.
Several thousand reached that port by May, 1918, but
the middle and rear of the force were drawn into
conflict with local Bolsheviks along the trans-Siberian
railway. By the end of October they were much
exhausted, but the enemy attacks then slackened
and they were able to withdraw. Their withdrawal
along the railway was aided and covered by a labour
battalion of the Middlesex Regiment under Lt.-Col.

CHAPTER XV.
British Troops in Africa.
German East Africa.
German East Africa, immediately to the south of
the Equator, has a coast line of about 450 miles to
the Indian Ocean, extends inland for some 700 miles
in the north and 400 miles in the south, and in area is
about six times the size of England and Wales, with a
population estimated at 8,000,000. The chief ports
are Tanga (pop. 6,000) in the north and Dar-es-
Salaam (pop. 24,000) in the centre, these being the
termini of railways running north-westward to the
KiUmanjaro district and westwards to Kigoma, which
adjoins Ujiji, on Lake Tanganyika. Tabora (pop.
37,000), 250 miles east of Tanganyika, is the chief town
in the interior. A belt, twenty or thirty miles wide,
along the coast is fiat and low-lying, but the interior
gradually rises to a series of barren plateaux at a
height of 4,000 or 5,000 feet. There are no roads, but
only unmetalled tracks through the bush, dusty in the
dry, and almost impassable in the wet seasons. Under
the conditions of active service, malaria and dysentery
are frequent, and the prevalence of the tsetse fly
throughout much of the country makes horses or
oxen almost useless for transport.
The enemy's force originally consisted of about
5,000 native troops and police, with a reserve of
3,000, all officered by Germans and under the command
of General Von Lettow-Vorbeck. There were also some
1,500 European settlers. By energetic recruiting the
total strength was eventually raised during the war
to over 30,000 with 2,300 Europeans, the arms and
ammunition for these increased numbers being chiefly
supplied by the Konigsberg (see p. 132) and other
vessels which ran the weak blockade. Precise details
as to our troops are lacking; they seem to have been
N
1 88
fewer than the enemy at first, but at the height of the
campaign were more numerous and better equipped.
They were, however, a heterogeneous assortment, con-
sisting of British and South African troops and settlers,

native troops from many different parts of India and
native troops from East Africa, Uganda, the Gold
Coast, Nigeria and even the West Indies. The lan-
guages spoken included EngHsh, Dutch, Hindustani,
Swahili and several West Coast and East Coast
dialects. Some had uniforms almost the same as
1 89
those worn by the enemy, and, to enable them to be
recognised, they were provided with the famihar blue
and white bands worn by the Metropolitan Police or
with red armlets bearing the letters G.R.
At the outbreak of war the Germans, being the
stronger, took the initiative, seized Taveta in British
East Africa and, until the end of 1915, frequently
raided the railway connecting Mombasa, the principal
port of the colony, with Nairobi, the capital. An
enemy attack on Mombasa early in October, 1914,
was repulsed, and our attempts on Tanga early in
November failed with nearly 1,000 casualties. The
whole of the campaigning season of 1915 was taken
up with raids and counter raids across the various
frontiers.
After several changes, Lt.-Gen. J. C. Smuts from
South Africa, succeeding Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien
who, owing to ill-health, had resigned on his way out
from England, was appointed commander in February,
1916, and started a vigorous offensive. In March the
German position at Taveta was outflanked and seized,
the Latema — Reata ridge was forced and Kahe was
captured. Kondoa Irangi was seized by General Van
Deventer on 19th April. While a large body of the
enemy was engaged in checking our further progress
to the south of the latter place. Smuts turned south-
east from Kahe, cleared the Usambara district and
occupied Tanga and Pangani. Belgian and British
troops by July drove the enemy from the district
between Lakes Victoria and Tanganyika, and at the
same time Van Deventer reached the central railway
at Dodoma. The Germans, who had retreated to a
strong position in the Nguru Mountains, were out-
flanked and driven south in August, on 3rd September
Dar-es-Salaam fell and by the end of the month the
coast as far south as the Portuguese frontier had been
occupied. During the autumn the Germans under
General Wahle were driven out of Tabora and nearly
1 90
surrounded, but, with the loss of more than half their
numbers, managed to break through and join the main
body on the Mahenge plateau.
Our losses from sickness were very heavy. In one
week in vSeptember there were 9,000 in hospital, of
whom 4,000 were whites, and between October and
December from 12,000 to 15,000 patients, mostly
malaria cases, were evacuated from the hospitals
along the central railway alone. The wastage among
animals for two months from the middle of September
was, horses 10,000, mules 10,000, oxen 11,000, donkeys
2,500.
In January, 1917, when Lettow-Vorbeck had been
hemmed in in the south-eastern part of the colony,
Smuts was recalled to take part in the Imperial Con-
ference, and about this time all white infantry and
mounted troops were withdrawn. He was succeeded by
General Hoskins who, in May, was succeeded by
General Van Deventer. At the end of the latter
month a sortie to the north-west was met and driven
back by the Belgians who, during the summer, con-
tinued their advance and in October drove a German
force from Mahenge. Van Deventer, working from
Lindi on the coast, defeated the Germans in several
engagements in November, captured some 5,000
prisoners, and forced Lettow-Vorbeck with the rem-
nants of his troops across the Ro\aima into Portu-
guese territory. In 1918 the British, with assistance
from the Portuguese, carried out active operations in
Portuguese territory against the Germans, who some-
times made daring raids but more often fled further
and further afield. One detachment under General
Wahle returned northward into German East Africa
and was captured. The main body eventually got
into Northern Rhodesia and was there at the con-
clusion of hostilities when, in accordance with the
Armistice, Lettow-Vorbeck was ordered by his Govern-
ment to surrender.

G. A. Hogg (R.N., Tram.), gunlayer on board H.M.S.
Severn, received the D.S.M. for his devotion to duty
during the destruction of the Konigsberg in July, 19 15.

explosion on H.M.S. Mersey which was taking part in
the attack.

line to the Bight of Biafra of 200 miles, extends inland
for an average distance of about 400 miles and has an
area of nearly 200,000 square miles, with a population
of about 3 1 miUions of whom only a few thousand are
Europeans. Along the coast is a belt, 150 miles wide,
of almost impenetrable forest, fringed by mangrove
swamps; the interior is higher and more open. Inces-
sant tropical rains, the absence of roads, and the dense
undergrowth made active service very trying, and
caused much of the fighting to be along the railways.
Of these there were two, both running from Duala,
the capital, one towards the east and the other towards
192
the north. British Nigeria Hes to the north-west,
French Congo to the east and the latter and Spanish
Guinea to the south.
Duala was occupied on 27th September, 19 14, and
by the end of the year the districts along the northern
railway and towards Edea, which was attacked along
the partly navigable rivers Sanaga and Njong, were
subdued by the British and French respectively.
Early in 19 15 an attack on Yaunde, to which the
Germans had transferred their administration, failed,
and a counter-attack upon our lines of communication
forced us back. Heavy rains put an end to further
fighting until August when a second attack on Yaunde
was organised. Allied troops captured Sende on 25th
and Eseka on 30th October. French troops at Bertua
and "Dume and Belgian troops from the south-east
co-operated, and on ist January, 19 16, Yaunde fell.
Many of the enemy made their way to Spanish ter-
ritory, isolated districts in the north were cleared,
and by the middle of February all fighting had ended.
CHAPTER XVI.
Deaths from Disease.
In previous wars those dying from disease have usually
outnumbered those killed in action. Thus, as recently
as the Crimean War, the proportion was four or five
to one, in the American Civil War and in the South
African War it was about two to one. On the Prussian
side in the Franco-German War in 1870 and on the
Japanese side in the Russo-Japanese War, 1904-5, the
latter proportion was reversed, but this was secured
only as the result of much careful attention to the
cleanhness and habits of each soldier. It was not
until the Great War that, on most of the fronts, deaths
from disease became negligible in comparison with
those of men killed in action. This was partly due to
the greater destructiveness of modern weapons, but
193
still more to the increased skill of medical men in
preventing disease. This particularly applies to the
troops in western Europe. Those elsewhere were not
so fortunate, and suffered from malaria in Salonica,
Palestine and Mesopotamia, dysentery in Gallipoli,
and various tropical diseases in Africa. Some deaths
directly due to the conditions of active service abroad
have been dealt with already under the different cam-
paigns. Others occurred as follows: —

In the preceding chapters it has rarely been possible
to state the numbers engaged, or the losses sustained,
in the different battles and campaigns. The following
figures, too vast for the mind to realise in any detail,
may help the reader to form some vague impression
of the immensity of the conflict. The numbers of
those who served from the British Empire alone were
as follows: ^

Territorials on 4th August, 1914 . 733,514

The combined death-roll was therefore over
8,000,000, or several hundred thousand beyond the
present entire population of Greater London. 2 The
' Exact figures are impossible as different numbers have been
pubUshed at different times. The table is based on estimates
prepared by the United States Army {Times, 4th March, 1919) as
amended by other authoritative figures {Times, 30th Nov., 23rd and
28th December, 1918; 9th April, 6th May, 2nd Sept. and 6th Nov.,
1919; 26th March, 20th April and i8th June, 1920). The figures in
italics are round numbers calculated by allowing two wounded for
each man killed or missing. This is a conservative estimate as the
usual proportion is 2^ or even 3 to i. The conditions in Serbia and
Roumania were exceptional and a still lower estimate of the propor-
tion of wounded to killed has been adopted.
' This in 1921 was 7,476,168.
200
total casualties approached 27,000,000, and quite
probably may have been nearly 30,000,000, or about
two-thirds of the population of the United Kingdom.
Only those campaigns in which the British were
concerned and those incidents in which they shared
have been described. Most of the main features have
thus been dealt with, for, except on the eastern front
in Europe, they had a part, and often an important
part, in all the fighting. It is natural and right that
our interest should centre in them, but the events of
the war and the final victory must be regarded as a
whole, not singly, nor even in relation to one country.
The British Empire did not win the war, nor did
France, nor Italy, nor the United States, although, if
any of these had been absent, the result might have
been far different; nor was any country alone in her
endurance and in her sacrifices. So, when the final
reckoning comes to be made, let it be remembered that
Russia's losses were the heaviest, and that, but for her
efforts, prolonged over two years in the face of every
difficulty, the position of the Allies on the other fronts
would have been most dangerous, if not impossible.
For more than four years Belgium, a narrow strip
excepted, was under the sway of a foreign despotism,
her people were liable at any moment to heavy
fines, to imprisonment and to deportation, and her
industries were being impaired or even ruined. The
like misfortunes befell Roumania but for a shorter
time. The fate of Serbia was more terrible. After her
army had been crushed by overwhelming numbers,
disease and starvation swept through the country
carrying off one-third of the population.^ The suffer-
ings of France are known, by sight Or by hearsay, to
all. It was on the western front that men and guns
were accumulated in the greatest profusion, and it
was there that the struggle was fiercest and most
obstinate. For a year or more she bore the brunt of

201
the attack along a front of several hundred miles;
throughout the war the fighting on the greater part
fell to her lot. Her casualties, most of them incurred
in this noble task, amounted to 4,470,526.^ In the
early days the enemy approached to within twenty
miles of the capital, and, when driven back, lay
encamped during nearly four years little more than
twice that distance away. In the spring of 1918 he
again closed in upon the city, which for some months
was under artillery fire at long range. A belt of
country, 250 miles long and twenty or thirty wide,
was reduced to a desert, 1,659 communes or townships
were blotted out, 2,363 others were wrecked, and
630,000 houses were destroyed or seriously damaged. 2
So many mines were ruined that the output of coal
was reduced by a half, 21,000 factories were gutted,
and great manufacturing centres like Lille and the
Longwy district were systematically despoiled of the
machinery vital to their prosperity. Deaths among
civilians, by artillery in the battle zone or by aero-
planes in the back areas, were frequent.
*******
This sketch has been written so that the memory of
the part taken by the Council's staff in events which
called for much bravery, much endurance, much self-
sacrifice, might not pass away without record, however
slight. The task is now completed. On so many
memorials, up and down the country, of those who fell
in the Great War, it is truly written : " They died that
we might live." For that example and that sacrifice
no return can be adequate, but it is for each of us
who survive to determine that the example and the
sacrifice shall not have been wholly in vain.
' The British casualties on the western front were 2,719,652
{Times. 28th Dec, 1918).
* This is about the number of houses in London.
